0I have difficulty in expressing the below idea: 02br
02br
00In a cargo ship, there are altogether 5 cargo holds. For some reason, the bulkhead separating hold No. 3 and No. 4 got a hole on it. As a result, when hold No. 3 was flooded in an accident, hold No. 4 was also flooded (water came through the hold No.3 into hold No. 4). 02br
02br
00In the above context, can I say: 02br
02br
00The two cargo holds are01b00 02b01u01b00joined02b00 02u00by the hole on the bulkhead. 02br
02br
00Or shold I use "communicated"? I looked it up in a dic, but no satisfactory result. 02br
02br
00I shall appreciate your help. 02br
