The line had landed between the glowing lantern and her father, and when he doesn't react, Elizabeth grips her end and keeps pace, demanding that he take it.
She's running out of deck.
Will and Tia Dalma might as well be worlds away for all the notice she takes of them.
"Come on, take the line!" Elizabeth yells, panic in her voice. She shakes the rope, but he still doesn't notice. "Take the line!"
With nothing to anchor it, the line slips off the small boat and lands in the water. The soft splash it makes sounds very final to Elizabeth's ears. She gasps, drops the (useless) rope and races for the stern, just a short distance away.
