Today I feel only dread. I'm sweating again-my cheeks are flushed. I thought I would feel relieved to be back in civilization, to be rescued from certain death, but instead, seeing the town and the men rushing about on the dock, the boats and sails and horse-drawn wagons, I'm struck again by what we have just endured. I want to find Daniel, see his face, know that he remembers too, but he's tunneled down beneath the blankets like a mole.

The detail from the text that best supports the inference that Daniel is having feelings similar to the narrator's is: **Daniel has tunneled down to hide under the blankets.** This action suggests that Daniel, like the narrator, is experiencing distress and may be overwhelmed by their recent experiences.

Big Water

by Andrea Curtis
Henry and Eva fold the sails and get out oars. We are bumping up against the stone-filled cribs of a large, wide dock within minutes.
I watch the men on the docks with their untamed beards and callused hands, their frayed wool pants and faded hats. They are young and old and move about like a kind of machine, few of them speaking but working together without need of words. Moving cargo, hauling wood, cleaning boats. Picking up, passing, carrying. I hear one call to another in French, someone respond in English. A thick-necked tabby cat sneaks down the dock, sniffing here and there. It rubs its long orange-and-white striped side along one burly man's boot. The man reaches down and scratches the old cat behind its ear, and it leans in toward him.
These men pay us little attention until we are banging up against the high dock. Their faces flicker with confusion, then disbelief as Daniel calls out, "We were on the Asia. The boat is sunk. We are survivors! Help us." He holds up the pillowcase with S.S. Asia stenciled along the hem.
