Chapter – 6
Thunderstorm
Everything
was later explained to me – Before I fainted, Jack had grabbed my leg and began
to shout for help, in a split second, the others had also joined the struggle
and then the Rex appeared on the scene… (No further explanation is needed)
We didn’t have much time to celebrate
my deliverance from death for after 15 minutes after I was rescued, we set of
to the jetty in order to hire a boat for a pleasant cruise on the ocean. After
about 3 minutes we were in a boat named ‘The Jolly Adventurer’ and were sailing
peacefully. Almost as we set out, dark clouds began to gather and soon the rain
began. We immediately hastened shoreward. We were in a difficult position for
the current was trying to make us go into the ocean! After about 10 minutes
struggle, the lightning began and began with an extraordinary happening for all
of us, the lightning struck the water! The current split into thousands of
other tiny currents and for about a second, a bright blue shining root seemed
to be in the water. When the ends of the ‘root’ touched the seafloor (which we
all could clearly see) some sort of tiny explosions seemed to take place whenever
they touched the bottom. We were all dazed as the storm lost its power and it
stopped raining. When we came to ourselves, we realized that we were about to
capsize the boat because we all had leaned over one side when the lightning
struck. We all decided that we would not tell our parents this. By now you
might be wondering why two natural disasters took place simultaneously in one
place in one day, its explanation will be given in the next chapter.
