Last November, Nick heard a disorder at a party. A group of people had 36 outside, pointing at something floating in the Bay. As he ran to 37 , he soon saw what was wrong: Two kids in a boat were caught in the 38 and being pulled out to sea.
Tim and Jack had climbed into a boat anchored nearby and had rowed out to 39 a football. Reaching beyond the calm waters, the 40 fitted to the boat caught the wind and pulled it into open water. They tried to row back. But they were no 41 for the wind and turned around in circles. Nick dashed to the farthest of land. The boat was already just a 42 on the sea. He knew that the 43 boat would soon be overtaken by the huge waves, and that it was 2 degrees. Nick jumped into the 44 cold water. Every 90 yards, he raised his head to assess his 45 . At one point, he considered turning back before managing to yell to them, “Take down the umbrella!”
Tim battled with the ropes holding the umbrella. Finally he loosened the ropes and 46 the umbrella.
