The narrator, together with his wife Mary, daughter Suzanne and son Jonathan set to sail from Plymouth, England in July 1976 to sail around the world. The son was only six years old and the daughter seven years old. The narrator was a businessman who was 37 years old. But as an explorer, he dreamt.
He wanted to repeat Captain James Cook's success two hundred years ago. He developed his maritime abilities in British waters by practising the same for 16 years. All of his savings was spent in titling and checking a boat named Wavewalker. On 2 January he and his family faced very rough and dangerous waves and struggled to survive against the deadly sea.
The wind fell and the sky was darkening. A cloud like something struck the ship with a deafening roar. It was a powerful and solid wave. The roaring noise of the waves increased. The back of the ship went up. The frame of the ship was rattled by an explosion. The ship was struck by a wave, the head of the narrator hit the wheel. He looked like the waves had swallowed him. But he never lost patience and hope.
There were more issues with the operation of the hand pumps. The pump was out of control. There was a dangerous increase of the water level. The narrator also finds the two hand pumps thrown overboard back on deck. Then in the chat room he talked about an electric pump. It was linked to an outlet and worked. The night was dark and bitter. They sent radio signals of distress to seek help.
The Wavewalker, his boat that had been destroyed, and the narrator was badly wounded. His children were too hurt. The situation was handled by January 3 in the morning. For about 15 hours since the wave hit, they had survived. The boat was severely damaged, however. It was not possible to take them securely to Australia.
The narrator checked for two nearby small islands and their only hope was to somehow reach that point. Then they went to the islands. The narrator and his family set his foot eventually on the island. His children were not afraid to die if they all were together.
EXPLANATION:
- From the above story We are Not Afraid to Die If We All Can Be Together written by Gordon Cokk and Alan East, the narrator react did not lose his courage and he was very calm to the problems.
- The narrator was least afraid to die but at the same time he wanted to safeguard his family from all the dangerous situation. The narrator realised that there was another electric pump in the room of the chart floor which he had found it was in the working order.
- However, he was not getting reply to the distress radio signals sent by him. Nevertheless the narrator was not shocked or surprised since he knew that they were in a remote corner of the globe. This reveals that the narrator is very clear-minded, dedicated, and a strong person.
