"Hook"
"Luke was the first to see the great wave. It was enormous -forty-footer-curling over the side of the Phoenix like a giant hand about to crush the small ship.
He shouted 'Captain and then the monster broke. To Luke it seemed like Crack!'

"Will! Wake up!' Will rolled over and cast a baleful eye at his sister.
' Beat it, Lyss. You're not supposed to be in here.'
'Come on!' She dragged him out of the narrow bunk. His elbow smacked Ian in the back of the head as he splashed to the deck... 'Ow!' The younger boy sat up. 'What's going on?'
'Yeah!' stormed Will. 'This better be good, Lyssa
'Radford's gone!"(page 75)
