The leaky boat floated hopelessly on for 2 days... They were in route to join the Crusaders in Jeruselam until a group of Sacaren war ships attacked the convoy of 10 ships that were still sleeping at 5:30 in the morning. It was too late by the time the crewman had manned their spots on the boats, they were already sinking or completely destroyed..
Only one ship had managed to escape from the ambush.. Tristan (the captain) and William (one of the Sergeants) were the only ones that werent skarred (spelling) from the battle. The rest of the 7 soldiers were badly wounded. Some couldnt even walk. For 2 days the ship contiued on, it had no direction any longer, it was floating hopelessly in an Arab sea. Most of their supplies was destroyed on the boat, they only had 4 days of water to survive on. The men were beggining to feel thir stomachs cry for a meal. the captain and sgt tried to comfort the wounded troops, telling them soon they will be in a Frankish camp and then back on boats going home to their families...

By 5oclock at night on the second day tristan spotted land, but he did not know who would be waiting for him on the shore. Cries of the wounded came more often and louder, they needed help now.. Then suddenly, the ships wood began to crack, the ship wouldnt last much longer.. "Dont worry men i spot shore, fresh bread and water will enter out bellies" Soon after he spoke those words the ships hull collasped, and the ship sunk in 9 minutes...
