Description

"Eventually he saw a dark shape in the distance that he had not noticed before.  A hallucination? Oroku wondered.  And in case it is real, I have too little strength left to make it there.  But his body somehow kept going, even though his conscious mind no longer felt it was controlling it, and he had switched to some sort of autopilot.  At least the dark shape turned out to be no illusion.  He kept going closer to what turned out to be a ship at anchor, but he was viewing it without it quite registering in his head, as if he were looking at page of text and knowing what it was supposed to say, but not being able to actually read and comprehend it.  His body was numb, but it kept moving closer to the ship.  When he got close to the huge chain which hung from its side, his conscious mind suddenly regained control, and Oroku swam over and wrapped his arms around it.

He hugged the chain, thinking he was finally safe, he didn’t have to swim any more, that he could just keep clinging to the chain and everything would be fine, and he could rest his stiff body all he wanted now.  But Oroku knew this wasn’t true.  He could not keep clinging to the chain, nor remain partially submerged in the cold ocean any longer.  He had to climb up it, onto the ship itself.  With his numbness and lack of energy, it took all his willpower to make himself begin climbing.  Again he had to really dig into whatever hidden resources he still had, but he painfully made his way up."
