3. Chapter 3 (Timothy and Phillip are adrift on a raft at sea) That lonely sea, and the sharp pains in my head, and the knowledge that I was here alone with a black man instead of my mother made me break into tears. Finally the black man said, looking at me from bloodshot eyes, “Now, young bahss, I mos’ feel like dat my own self, Timothy, but ‘twould be of no particular use to do dat, eh?’ Meeting Click on the characters’ faces to read their thoughts.

Finally the black man said, looking at me from bloodshot eyes, “Now, young bahss, I mos’ feel like dat my own self, Timothy, but ‘twould be of no particular use to do dat, eh?’ I’m really afraid of the terrible sea and I’m scared of this strange man called Timothy.

7. Chapter 3 (Timothy works to ensure their survival at sea) I then watched as he used his powerful arms and hands to rip up boards from the outside edges of the raft. He pounded them back together on cleats, forming two triangles; then he jammed the bases into slots between the raft boards. He stripped off his shirt and his pants, then demanded mine. Soon we had a flimsy shelter from the burning sun. Survival Click on the characters’ faces to read their thoughts. Click on the island to return to the menu or the wave to exit.

11. Chapter 4 (Phillip has just realised he cannot see) “I don’t feel any pain, Timothy. The pain has gone away.” I guess he was trying to think it all out. In a few minutes, he answered, “Once, ovah ‘round Barbados, a mahn ‘ad an outrageous crack on d’ead when a sailin’ boom shift. Dis mahn was blin’ too. Tree whole day ‘e saw d’night.

15. Chapter 6 (Timothy has spotted a very small island) I said, “Timothy, wouldn’t it better if we stayed on the raft and found a big island with people on it?” I said, “I don’t want to go on that island.” I don’t think there was anyone on earth as stubborn as old Timothy.

19. Chapter 7 (Timothy has realised where their cay lies) I said, “You are worried about something, Timothy. Please tell me the truth. I’m old enough to know.” Timothy waited a long time before answering, probably trying to choose the right words.

23. Chapter 8 (Timothy asks Phillip for assistance) I guess Timothy was standing there looking at me, waiting for me to say something or do something. I heard him say, “Well, young bahss.” “What do we do now?” I asked. His voice now impatient, he said, “Say somethin’ wid d’rock, wid many rock; eeevery rock be sayin’ somethin’ …” I frowned at him. “I don’t think I can help you, Timothy.

27. Chapter 9 (Timothy puts pressure on Phillip to work) After we’d torn the vines out, and he was weaving the rope, he said, “Young bahss, you mus’ begin to help wid d’udder wark.” My hands were tired from pulling the vines, and I just wanted to sit and think. I didn’t want to work. I said, “Timothy, I’m blind. I can’t see to work.” I heard him cutting something with his sharp knife. He replied softly, “D’han’ is not blin’.” Work Click on the characters’ faces to read their thoughts. Click on the island to return to the menu or the wave to exit.

31. Chapter 10 (Phillip begins to wonder why skin colour is an issue) I told him that my mother didn’t like black people and asked him why. He answered slowly, “ I don’ like some white people my own self, but ‘twould be outrageous if I didn’ like any o’ dem.” Wanting to hear it from Timothy, I asked him why there were different colours of skin, white and black, brown and red, and he laughed back, “Why b’feesh different colour, or flower b’different colour?

You scared me, Timothy.” “Dat be true,” he said. “My ‘ead burn wid fire, an’ I put it out.” I helped him to his feet and we went up the hill together, Timothy leaning on me for support for the first time.

The coral had been smoothed over by centuries of sea wash. “Now, reach downg ‘ere,” Timothy said, “an’ tug off d’ mussel.” I put my hand into the warm water, kneeling down over the ledge and felt a mussel.

I found his hard, horny hand again, wrapped mine around it, and lay down beside him. Hurricane Click on the characters’ faces to read their thoughts.
