When we got in the boat, we were scared but it was the only way to go, and we all knew that. The seas started to get rougher as we paddled through despair. Although it is dangerous, the water wouldn't act up as much as if we were swimming through it. We had to use all our strength to turn around the whirpools and the giant waves. About one third of the way through a wave crashed against our boat and then we heard a crackeling sound. We thought it was nothing till the floor got damp and water began soaking our feet! " There's a leak!" Jess said as we were all panicking. We tried to stuff it with cloth but the water just kept on coming in. We had to abandon the ship. We decided to dive into the water grabbing onto whatever we could find. When I finally stuck my head out of the water, I saw Jess but not Max. I tried to swim under the water but I kept on getting swept up by water. Then I saw a hand floating in the water then the head of a boy! "Maxwell!" I screamed and swam to where I saw him. Jess and I pulled him out of the water and played him down on a plank. We pushed him the rest of the way to land.
