There I was, leaning against the railing of the right side of the boat watching the waves ride on by. It was so soothing that I didn't even notice that people were scrambling around the deck of the boat. I saw men in whit uniforms and sailors hats running with multiple ropes that were exceptionally long. They were clearing out the passengers of the cruise while they prepared life jackets and such. I wondered why they were doing such things at this time. "Was it a drill?" I thought while looking at everyone scrambling around the deck like little bugs. I ran to the left side of the boat and looked over the rail. I almost couldn't stop but was forcibly stopped by the rail. As I looked over, I couldn't really see anything until I looked into the distance. It was faint but I saw it. It was what seemed like a small raft with maybe two or three people on it. I heard a man's voice speaking to me as I was looking to get a better look at what was in the distance. He said, "Sir, please go back to your room, this is a matter of importance." I looked at him with the most disappointed look as possible. He had no expression on his face what so ever. I replied to him, "I can help with this, i was trained for this situation being in the military." I smiled at him and turned back to another man that was just standing around while everyone else was panicking. He had one of those long ropes that I had seen earlier. He was a short distance away so I only needed to take a few steps to get to him. I slipped of my boots that I was still wearing from the trip on to the boat. I gave one end of the rope to the men that was on the ship. "Here, do not let go of this. When you see me wave, pull us in." He looked at me and nodded. His face looked as if he was scared of something. I hope it wasn't me since I don't see myself as a scary person. I dove into the water feet first. I didn't want to go in the other way around because the impact on my hands and/or head wouldn't be good. But considering the feet and legs are stronger than the arms, its the reasonable way to go in. I didn't surface for about a minute. I needed to get back into myself from that impact. That was such a high jump that it was hard to come back from it. After I resurfaced, I swam with everything I had to the small raft. I could see now since I was a lot closer to them. "How did these two get stranded together? They look like they originate from two different sides of the planet." Is what I thought to myself as I swam to them. When I finally reached the raft, I got on and it seemed to weigh it down a little where water was beginning to get on top of it. I looked the two men in the face and looked away quickly. I had no intention to greet them at the moment. We could do that once they are on the boat. With the rope in my hands, I had to attach it to something on the raft. I looked around for a whole to tie the rope onto and luckily enough, I found one on the edge of the raft where I was. I looked up to them men on the top of the boat. From here they looked like dots. I began waving slowly. As I was waving, I got faster and faster so that they could see me. I didn't think that they could see me though since, I felt no tugging on the rope.  I looked back to the men and said, "Hey, I need your help now. I need you guys to wave your hands as well so that they know to pull on the rope. Can you men do that?" I asked if they could do it because they must have been stranded there for awhile and they might have been weak and exhausted.
