They were starting to run out of supplies, and energy. They only had a couple of cans with food left, and a couple gallons water. Most of the people on the boat were certain that they could make it, but some had figured out the chances of survival were small.They were supposed to be in America by now, but the fourth day, they found out that they had sailed the wrong direction. The Reason they had fled, were because they had a terrible flood, in their local town, that left them with nothing.A couple of days later they had no supplies left and could only survive a couple of days more. The night Starts, and the people on the boat went to sleep. After people had fell asleep, one of the men on the boat who couldn’t sleep, spotted a light in the distance. The light came closer and closer, and he saw that is was a rescue boat. He woke up all the people on the boat, and used his last energy crying for joy. The people on the rescue boat attached the boat to theirs and pulled them in to the coast.
