sardar ji and italian

Help.... the Titanic is going to be drowned.... Everybody in the ship
is shouting, crying, running or praying to God... Just then a Italian
asks the nearby Sardarji in the ship.

Italian : How far is land, from here ?
Sardarji : Two miles .

Italian : Only two miles, Then why are these fools making noise. I have
got the experience of swimming even more. The Italian jumps off the ship
into the sea and comes up to the layer to ask something again.

Italian : Just tell me which side, is land two miles from here ?
Sardarji : Downwards ....
