Answers
The voyage after the disaster was very adventurous and full of risks and optimism.
EXPLANATION:
'We are not afraid to die' is an adventure story describing the voyage of the narrator with his family. It is a real life incident that narrates how the narrator confronted a deadly disaster with his family in his own small vessel over a turbulent sea.
After the disaster the narrator was tired out. He had predicted that their vessel would soon come across an island but he was so fatigued that he overslept. Luckily his companions and family sighted it and harboured the vessel to safety.
As a surprise the narrator received a big hug from his children and applause from his crew for being such a wonderful navigator.
Answer:
The disaster had damaged greatly the narrator’s ship. But he and his team fought bravely against the wave. They worked on the hand pumps to take out the water. They had survived for 15 hours since the wave hit. But the ‘Wavewalker’ was not in a position to take them to Australia because of its broken condition. The narrator checked the charts and found that there were two small islands a few hundred kilometer to the east. But unless the wind and seas abated and they hoisted sail, their chances were slim. On 4th January, the situation eased they took their first meal in almost two days with corned beef and cracker biscuits. The narrator asked Larry to steer a course of 185 degrees. Then they reached ‘Ile Amsterdam’ island. All the 28 inhabitants cheered them ashore the next morning.
