Sadly the nearest ship was probably a weeks sail away. Keeping a very large merchantman running racetracks around a tiny hull which it had no power to support is fairly difficult. Thats without considering the reality that the ships owners would have a tight schedule to keep to, and would want her back on track as quickly as possible.
I don't doubt had they seen signs of life then they'd have tried something to help people, but at this point sitting around for a week in bad weather just to keep track of the hull was probably unrealistic - particularly as the crew are (in my personal opinion) very likely to have been long dead.
