Now, while the ship is on it's decline, the crew men are not making repairs fast enough because the gashes are so large and the holes are so numerous. Matt Cruse is also working near Lunardi, the boy who had taken the position he was supposed to get as apprentice sail maker and has to help him because Lunardi gets turned upside down in his harness while patching the hydrium cells. They get very close to the sea and are trying to stay aloft for a very long time when suddenly, an island appears in the distance and they make a daring landing on a sandy beach next to a lagoon on the island. When they arrive, everyone exits the ship and the captain gives a speach about how there will be enough hydrium to lift off again and, that people need to be a little patient while they unload cargo so they can lift off once more. The people are all sitting around not doing anything while the crewmen unload. After part of the unloading process Baz, Matt's friend and him are sent off to find a stream because they had dumped almost all of their balast and drinking water during their attempt to not sink to the bottom of the ocean. While on their way they see Kate taking notes in her grandfathers journal. Once they find the stream Baz goes back alone and Matt goes to talk with Kate. She tells him she thinks this may be the island her grandfather had seen on his trip. Matt is very sceptical but, after remembering a description of the landscape of the island he declares "We are here".
