Expliqué aux enfants

Imagine you're playing hide-and-seek in a big house with no windows or doors to see outside. It's dark and you've been moving around for a long time. Suddenly, you feel like you might be close to finding your way out. That's kind of what happened here with the sailors on their ship.
