Julian pulled in the anchor, and
while Mack wrapped the pull cord on
the outboard motor, the wind, steady
without being heavy, pushed them
toward the open gulf. Mack gave the
pull cord a couple OF tugs, and the
third time the motor caught. The
sound of it screamed upward until 1t
seemed the motor would explode, but
the boat continued to drift gently
before the wind.
MACK cut off the motor. "The pins

IL didn't bring them. I've never

But there was nothing in the boat
from which they could make pin.
They tried fishhooks. clipping the
barbs and heads of the hooks with
pliers, but the hooks were not big
enough to hold.
What are we going to do?" Julian
asked. His gaze shifted nervously
past Mack to the southeast.
