(2022·南昌摸底测试)Chase Poust is a 7yearold boy.He and his dad Steven, and his 4yearold sister, Abigail, were out for a family boating trip on Florida's St.Johns River near Mandarin Point.Chase and Abigail were swimming at the back end of the anchored boat while Steven was on deck (甲板) fishing.
It was an idyllic (平和美丽的) outing — until a strong wave came.It was too strong for Abigail to hold onto the boat.Instantly realizing his sister would be swept away, Chase let go of the boat as well to try to reach her.
Steven jumped into the water but after realizing he couldn't keep up with both kids, he was faced with a hard decision.“I told them I loved them because I wasn't sure what was going to happen,” Steven told the reporter.“I tried to stick with both of them.I wore myself out.She drifted away from me.”
Directing Chase to swim to shore for help, Steven stayed behind, keeping as close as he could to Abigail as the life vest that was keeping her above the waves floating further and further from his reach.
It was a tough go for the 7yearold, but rather than attempting to swim all out, Chase wisely paced himself.Stopping to float or dog paddle when he was tired, he had a rest and then set off again.It took Chase an hour to reach the shore.Once on the solid ground, he ran to the nearest house and called for help.
Rescuers arrived soon to search for Steven and Abigail.Miraculously, the two were found and rescued about an hour later — more than a mile away from the family's abandoned boat.
