This question is incomplete. Here´s the complete question.
The night dragged on with an endless, bitterly cold routine of pumping, steering and working the radio. We were getting no replies to our Mayday Calls - which was not surprising in this remote corner of the world.
Sue's head had swollen alarmingly; she had two enormous black eyes, and now she showed us a deep cut on her arm. When I asked why she hadn't made more of her injuries known before this, she replied, “I didn't want to worry you when you were trying to save us all."
