Peter ignores the fin, knowing that sharks have two dorsal fins (one in the middles of their backs and another smaller one closer to their tails). In reality, these second dorsal fins are usually two small to see when a shark swims with its back breaking the surface—usually they'll remain submerged. In fact, if you can see them, you can probably still their cadual fins (their tails), too. At that point, the tail give away the identity of a shark because sharks' are vertical and dolphins' are horizontal.
Peter rests, and then two men continue to float. Peter watches the dolphin until it disappears.
Then he sees it—what he knows to be a shark.
"Uh, Jimmy?" he gulps.
Jimmy looks up at the fin of the shark that's gliding through the surface just a little ways away. His eyes practically double in size.
Does Peter Put His Back Against Jimmy's (9), Try to Swim Away (10), or Form a Defensive Wall (11) with Jimmy?
