Answer:

The story runs between hope and despair. The sea-voyage started on a note of hope and enthusiasm, and ended on a note of fulfillment. During the voyage, the boat had to sail in rough waters. The captain managed to steer the boat to an island. At times, his failing courage got the boost from his family members, and crew. His wife stayed at the wheels in the crucial hours, his seven years old girl did not let them worry about her head injury and his six years old boy was not afraid to die.

Answer:

It was the sheer optimism of the narrator and the two men in the crew, Larry and Herb, that helped them carry on in the face of life-threatening dangers. They celebrated Christmas despite the gales. When the storm struck and the narrator was flung overboard, he did not give up hope but got back to the ship with his ribs cracked and his mouth filled with blood and broken teeth. He took the wheel and fought water that was getting into the ship. This shows, they were not willing to give in to danger but were ready to battle it. They faced the extremely cold night, struggling to pump out water, find direction and also work the radio. With no response to their desperate calls for help because they were in a distant corner of the world, they were still optimistic about finding Ile Amsterdam and steered the ship towards the direction. Their optimism paid off and they came out of a stressful situation.
