Novel White Dolphin Summary CH 1-38
Chapter 36:Kara helps Ethan pull his life jacket on. Moana is
taking on water fast, heeling far over in the water. Kara tries to
concentrate. She has to find a solution as soon as possible. Kara
cuts the spinnaker rope. She pulls on the mainsail and slides
back to the tiller. Moana has a problem moving straight as it is
filling with water. There is a tearing crack and they can feel it
split the water. The waves thump her and push her towards the
cliff. Kara grabs the flare and reads the instructions. The flare is
all wet. Even then she pulls the tag and holds it skywards.
Luckily a blast of light explodes from the flare. Moana's hull
crushes against the rocks and her keel is being wrenched away.
They hear a helicopter hovering above them. A man drops down
towards them and rescues them. The wind spins them around as
they are lifted up into the sky. Kara sees Moana being crushed
into pieces.
Chapter 37As soon as Kara and Ethan get into the helicopter,
she inquires about Felix. The captain says that first, he will take
them to the town and then go back out to look for Felix and
Jake. The helicopter lands and an ambulance comes towards
them. Kara's dad runs towards her and holds her tightly. Felix's
Mum worriedly asks about Felix. Dougie Evans is also there.
Kara briefs them that Felix and Jake are in the dinghy. But there
is no dinghy in the harbour, no sign of Felix or Jake. Kara
notices Miss Penluna leaning over the granite wall, staring out
into the waves. Dougie Evans cries and sobs in grief. Miss
Penluna whispers to Dougie that Jake is in the company of
angels. Suddenly Kara sees the white hull of Felix's dinghy. The
dinghy is running with the wind. The wave is pushing them
sideways along the line of breaking surf. Soon Kara sees both of
them slumped inside the dinghy. Felix gives the thumbs up and
smiles. People on the harbour cheer for them.
