　　Driscoll, 15, and his best friend,18-year-old Josh Long, were found on Saturday about 11 km 　　1　　 Cape Fear in North Carolina．That was six days and more than 100 miles(161 km)from where they had 　　2　　 from Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, on April 24．

　　The boys had 　　3　　 a lot of water and were tired, but in pretty good 　　4　　．They set out 　　5　　 on a 4.3-metre sailboat on a 　　6　　 day when the National Weather Service had warned small boats to stay out of the water．They realized they were 　　7　　 almost immediately and tried to swim back to 　　8　　, 　　9　　 the boat along with them．

　　Within 　　10　　, they were far out at sea．

　　“We 　　11　　 our fishing equipment on the second day,”Driscoll said．“So we couldn't catch any fish．”

　　The boys' hopes faded 　　12　　 each day．They stood on their boat 　　13　　 they saw another boat, 　　14　　．One night they were woken up by 　　15　　 coming into the boat．A large ship was very close to them．

　　“　　16　　 was like some huge building in the water,”Driscoll said．

　　At one point, the boys thought they had gone across the Atlantic Ocean and were close to Africa．　　17　　, they were 179km north of their starting point．A coast guard boat set out to 　　18　　 them．

　　The boys got up and made some 　　19　　．This time, they were heard．

　　As I 　　1　　 my car, I saw one of my 　　2　　 standing by the bus stop．I thought it would only take a couple of extra minutes to give her a ride home, and 　　3　　, it was too cold to be standing outside on the coldest 　　4　　 in January．I didn’t know where she lived, but I was 　　5　　 I would be able to find my way back．

　　We 　　6　　 about our work as I drove and 　　7　　 we knew it, we arrived at her house．I started driving back．　　8　　 looked familiar, but at first that didn’t 　　9　　 me．But soon I 　　10　　 something wrong．I recognized nothing．But I told myself to stay 　　11　　．

　　I was 　　12　　 neighborhoods, streets and even streetlights．I no longer knew where I was now．How could I be so stupid! I looked down at my 　　13　　．It was now 2：30 a．m．My gas was slowly running out．I 　　14　　 the car and turned off the engine．In total defeat, I put my head down on the wheel, 　　15　　．Then I raised my head and saw a(n)　　16　　 down the road in front of me．I turned my headlights on．A car! I drove a little 　　17　　, got out of my car and knocked on the window of that car．An elderly man 　　18　　 rolled his window down．

　　I said that I didn’t know how to get back into town．In silence, he started driving．I ran back to my car and drove behind him．Finally I 　　19　　 a familiar street．As I turned to head home, the car disappeared．Then I 　　20　　 my driveway(车道)when the warning light for my gas tank(汽油箱)turned on．

　　Though so many years have passed, I still thank the old man from my deepest heart．
