It’s 2023 now. Kevin Hyde is 65 years old. He loves sailing(驾船航行). He recently invited his friend, Joe DiTommasso, along with Joe’s dog, Minnie, on a sailing trip. On the way, they found themselves inside a storm at sea.
As the ocean moved violently around them, the 50-foot mast(桅杆) of the boat broke off, so they couldn’t control the boat. Their radios didn’t work either. They could do nothing but stay at the stormy sea. When Kevin and Joe’s families lost touch with them, they reported them missing to the Coast Guard. Soon, a full search started through air and sea, but no one found them. By the 10th day at sea, they were nearly out of water and feeling more desperate than ever.
Just when it seemed that all was lost, they got help from the most unbelievable source(来源): a big international ship called the Silver Muna that was traveling from Amsterdam to New York City. A worker on the ship found their boat by accident. He told his co-workers and they got to work hauling(拖) the sailors and their dog aboard the huge ship. It was not easy! It took them about 3 hours to get Kevin, Joe, and Minnie aboard. They were hungry, and tired, but they were not hurt.
