- DAMEDA!! DAMEDA!!! He screeched at me. His whole body was shaking with fury. "No fire, understand?"He started drawing shapes in the sand. A hill and a smaller one next to it, then a line straight through. He pointed to the cave next to me. "Kenuske, I,You boy, here.
- Micheal sees the boat
- IM HERE!! IM HERE!!!
- For the rest of the day, I stayed in my cave. I sat there trying to gather my thoughts. How was I going to get off this island unless I could get the attention of some passing ship? I curled up in my cave, closed my eyes, and wished myself home. I spent the rest of the night cursing the horde of insects wirring around me.
- Michael sees another boat
- Dameda.
- One day, after yet another fruitless morning of watching the hill, Stella and I were coming out of the forest when I saw something lying in the sand. At a distance, it looked like just another piece of driftwood. When I walked closer, I noticed that it was not a piece of driftwood at all, but a roll of rush matting. Inside, and neatly folded, was a white sheet. He knew! "THANK YOU," I shouted. "THANK YOU SO MUCH!"
- Michael gets stung by the jellyfish
- The next morning, I was on the top of my "Watch hill", when I saw the long bulky profile of a supertanker. There was no mistake. "I'm here! I'm here!" I kept shouting until my throat was raw. I did not turn. As I stood on the summit of my Watch-hill, my despair was replaced with anger. If only I had been allowed to have my fire, they would have seen me. I promised myself I would never let another chance go by. I would make a fire and light it when the chance came.
- One morning, I emerged from my cave, and there it was! A boat! Some kind of Chinese junk, but it was still a boat. I ran helter-skelter down the beach and screamed and shouted for all I was worth, but it was hopeless. Then I remembered. My fire! I ran all the way to my Watch Hill without stopping. I readied my cache of dry leaves and prepared the fire-glass. It seemed an age, but there was finally a wisp of smoke. I started to blow life into it. That was when I saw his feet.
- "Dameda," he said quietly, and walked away. I wanted to defy him. I crossed over his line. "See that old man? I've crossed over your silly line. And now I'm going to swim, " I shouted. I swam furiously and trashed around the sea. That was when I felt it. A searing, stringing pain at the back of my neck, then another one in my foot. A large, translucent jellyfish was floating beside me. I was going to die, I was going to drown, but I didn't care. I just wanted it to stop. Death I knew would stop it.
