the noise of the engine was changing,becoming slower,and then it stopped completely.For a moment there was silence.
Jim jumped into the cockpit and looked into the engine.
'No petrol,'he said.'What a stupid thing to do!I forgot to fill up before we started.keep going straight ahead,John.We'll anchor over there;it's quite shallow near that buoy.'The Goblin was still going forward,but already more slowly.Jim ran forward and they heard the noise of the anchor chain as he got it ready and dropped the anchor into the water.
'what are we going to do?' asked Roger.
'wait for wind,' said John.
'get some petrol,' said Jim.'I'll row ashore and,if I can catch that bus over there,I'll be back in ten minutes.You're in charge,John.Don't let anybody fall overboard.it's low water now,the tide's just turning.You'll be all right here.Nothing can possibly happen.'
the four Walker children watched Jim row the Goblin's little black boat towards the shore.Susan suddenly remembered the eggs and called the others down to breakfast.it was ten past eight.
'I'll keep Jim's eggs warm,'said Susan.
Two hours passed,and Jim's breakfast still waited for him in the cabin.The crew were all on deck.
'what's happened to him?' said Susan.'it's geeting quite foggy now,even in the harbour.'
there was no doubt about it.Fog was coming in from the sea with the tide,and it was already difficult to see
