• The ship Phillip and Grace are on is torpedoed, and, as Phillip falls from the boat, he is struck on the head.
• Phillip wakes to find himself on a raft with an elderly black man named Timothy and a cat named Stew.
• Timothy takes care of Phillip by building a lean-to and giving him water when he becomes upset.
• Phillip feels Timothy is stingy with the water and begins to understand why his mother dislikes black people.
• When flying fish land in the boat, Timothy gives Phillip the largest portion, but Phillip refuses to eat.
• Night falls and Phillip and Timothy lie on the raft looking at the stars while Phillip thinks about the fact that he's never gotten to know a black person.
