While Estaban and Zia remains in the cabin, Mendoza navigates the ship safely through the stormy weathers. Ordering Sancho and Pedro to take over the rudder and take the course Mendoza’ orders. As scared as Sancho and Pedro are they won’t withdrew to their cabins as the crew did. They remain loyal to Mendoza, but they are scared as hell. As the storm grows stronger the three of them are left alone to roam the ship. Even the higher ups, the captain, Gaspard and the colonel Gomez doesn’t interfere and remain in their cabins, probably praying to survive.
However the cabins aren’t complete safely either. Everyone, the crew and our stowaways heroes Estaban and Zia bounces from wave to wave, to the floor and ceiling of their small cabin. It is nearly 4 days ago since the storm begun and Mendoza finds a small canal. The narrow stream is their only escape to survive the stormy weather of the open waters. Dancing on the waves Mendoza forces the ship towards the small canal. The chances to survive is still much more than they have in the storm. Poor Estaban and Zia can’t bear the bitter world of the sea. The bad food, locked up and dealing with the stormy weather is just too much for them. They can only seek shelter to each other but they both lack the courage to calm down.
The moment the ship enters the narrow canel the storm withdraws and Esteban looks up in the first time of days. Here he find an astonished `beautiful` landscape covered in snow and ice. Quickly he calls Zia over to watch. Together they observe the nature’s wonderful sight of the world. They ignore the shipwrecks stewed on the beaches, but looks up on the pillars of ice and glaciers they drift alongside. Both children continues to watch as they see an iceberg breaking up into smaller pieces, to drift away into the bottomless pit of the endless ocean to dissolve in the dark maelstrom. The storm and danger is over and they can breathe clamy again. At last, after four days and nights Mendoza had spend on wheel, the ship is safe. Finally he may rest and sleep as the crew celebrates their survival. Happily our children runs on deck. At the moment Estaban sets foot a the sun welcomes him and the dark clouds flattens and vanishes.
Now the bright daylight has returned our friends lurks the seas from the deck again. As they drift along the pacific ocean Estaban finds new species which makes him even more exciting of the new world. Mendoza informs Estaban, this sea is where he took him from his father… Though there is no time to worry, as crew along the children has almost no food as all is wept away in the storm. Estaban complains about the water, but Zia silently drinks it and becomes ill. Mad Estaban searches the cargo for fresh water to find a plague of rats instead. When Gaspard finds Estaban at the cargo entry he put them in irons. Mendoza quickly covers them, as they are just children. The crew, especially Sancho is mad about the difference in rations. However Gaspard thinks he doesn’t need Mendoza and provokes him when suddenly a typhoon rises on the lap of their ship.
They children in prisoned have no clue why the ship shakes and are shaked up pretty good in their cages as the ship starts to crack. As Mendoza steers the wheel bravely his chivalry is no match of the approaching storm.
