Stormy Seas (# 1924)

1.The storm was raging in the middle of the night. There were two tall ships, one piloted by a boy, and the other by a girl. The boy saw that his ship was being blown sideways into rocks. He told the crew to wait until the ship hit and then jump as far as they could over the rocks, gaining momentum from the force of the ship shattering. He did and the boy managed to land in the forest beyond. It was not clear how many crew members survived. The girl did better with her ship. Working hard against the elements, she managed to steer the ship into a sheltered cove and anchored there. During the night the girl developed a fever. Shipmates tried but could not save her. She died before morning. The next day the ship left the cove and sadly sailed home.
