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.
