One Sunday, Mike decided to go sailing in his boat with his friend Jack. But Jack happened to be
away. Jack's brother, John, wanted to go with him, but he didn't know anything about sailing. Mike
agreed and they started to go out to sea.
Soon they found themselves in a thick fog. Mike was sure they would be hit by a big ship. Luckily,
he saw a large buoy(浮标) through the fog and decided to tie(系) the boat to it for safety. As he was
getting onto the buoy, however, he dropped the wet rope(绳). The boat moved away in the fog carrying
John. Because John didn't know how to use the radio(无线电波), the boat went around in all directions.
Twelve hours later, he was saved.
Mike spent the night on the buoy. In the early morning he fell asleep. He was having a bad dream
when a shout woke him up. A ship, the Good Hope, came up and he climbed onto it and thanked the
captain (船长). The captain told him that John had been saved by another ship. That ship's captain gave
a message to tell this captain that Mike was on the buoy.
