Hegestratos and Sdenothemis do not wait around but run away.

For the men throw themselves into the sea, and look for the lifeboat.
εἰς τὴν γὰρ θάλατταν ῥίπτουσιν ἑαυτοὺς οἱ ἄνθρωποι, καὶ τὸν λέμβον ζητοῦσιν.

The sailors clearly see their flight from the ship, and the captain unties the lifeboat.
καὶ οἱ μὲν ναῦται ἀπὸ τοῦ πλοίου τὴν φυγὴν σαφῶς ὁρῶσιν, ὁ δὲ κυβερνήτης τὸν λέμβον ἀπολύει.

The lifeboat drifts away from the ship.

SDEN. Oh dear! Where is the life-boat? Where is it, Hegestratos?
ΖΗΝ. (thrashing around in the waves) οἴμοι, ποῦ ὁ λέμβος; ποῦ ἐστιν, ὦ Ἠγέστρατε;

HEG. I can’t see the the life-boat, Sdenothemis — oh dear!
ΗΓ. ἐγὼ τὸν λέμβον οὐχ ὁρῶ, ὦ Ζηνόθεμι — οἴμοι.

SDEN. We are dying, Hegestratos. Help, sailors, help!
ΖΗΝ. ἀποθνῄσκομεν, ὦ Ἡγέστρατε. βοηθεῖτε, ὦ ναῦται, βοηθεῖτε.
