John looked to the south-east.he had been asleep for a long time.Across the dark sky a bright light shone from one side to the other,and then disappeared.after a few seconds the light went round again.
'that must be on land,'John said.'It must be a lighthouse.'
as they sailed on,the light seemed to be not so bright as before.at first John couldn't understand.could the light go away from them?And then he understood.it wasn't as dark as before.over in the east the morning light was coming.and when it came,they might be able to see land.but where?France...Belgium...Holland?certainly somewhere they had never seen before.
