Soon after, one of the young men fishing line got caught up against the rock in the deep part of the rocky water’s edge. So he decided with the others to jump into the water and untangle the fishing line. None of the young men knew that that hole is an area that the water can come in with a heavy roll and push all the way up into a open cave in the rock leading from the sea. The water, when it comes in beats on either sides of the opening of the rock and creates a whirlpool and suction that develops a strong undercurrent.
I remember seeing the heads of the two young men fishing then I did not see them anymore, so I thought they are somewhere below on a lower edge standing closer to the water’s edge to fish. But that wasn't the case.
Two of the young men had gone into the water fighting to get the fishing line free from where it was caught up and entangle. That was not a wise thing to do, because, they find themselves facing several dangers. However, when I noticed what was really happening I ran to the edge of the rock lay flat and begged both young men to get out of the water immediately.
I choose to advise them to take a low ledge that is close to the water's edge and climbed out but they told me they tried but there were too many sea eggs alongside the rock. Then what to do to get them out safe was my next thought? Then, I began to pray asking God not to let rough waves come in but to spare the young men and allow them to climb out safely.
While praying I held on to a projected part of the rock and made myself into a human ladder for them to hold onto my other hand and foot and reach the first young man who I instructed to begin to climb the steeper part of the rock.
He grabbed my hand and slowly began to climb out of the water but when he was almost half way up, a wave came and pulled his buddy down underneath the sea and you could see his buddy struggling to get back to the surface but the whirlpool from the body of the water was beginning to take effect on him and his strength.
Right away I advice his friend to jump back into the water on the side where he could be safe then fish his friend out by holding his hand and I will climb as far down to pull them both out. Miraculously, at that same time another wave came out of nowhere and pushed the struggling young man from underneath and up to the top of the water not too far from the side of the rock.
His friend who was reaching out to him grabbed his hand and pulled him in to the rock and I told him then to pull his struggling friend all the way to the first level on the rock and rest awhile so his exhausted friend could catch himself.
After that I had them both began to climb out of the water’s way little by little holding onto cracks in the rock and projected rock after rock. Like a cliff climber they began their slow climb up to where I can reach them. Then, I used my arm and reach the first friend and gradually pulled him up to the next safest place on the steep rock. Then all the way up to the top. While still lying on my back close to the edge, my right arm still outstretched holding onto the projected piece of rock above me, and my other hand extend to the next tired and worn-out friend.
After his friend was out, the second buddy then held on to me, using all his might to begin his climb to the top of the rock over my body and gradually climbed up and out of the dangerous water hole.
I thank God for his grace as I lay on my back for awhile and almost wanted to cry for joy, because God had used me to save the lives of those two young men just in the nick of time.
When we got back on the beach side where everybody were waiting not knowing what was happening on the cliff side. I told a Gentleman who works on the beach what had happened to the young men, he exclaimed "you mean the shark hole, that dangerous cave mouth that so many people lost their lives? Everybody looked at the young men in shocked. How could they have taken such a risk with their lives, they asked?
The Young men said they did not realize the danger until they got in the water. They said that they were scared especially when the sea eggs prevented them from taking the easy way up out of the water as they wanted to at first.
Then, when the rough water came in and pulled one of them under they had almost thought that was it. Then, one of the young men said, he realized that they had made a big mistake by jumping into that dangerous water hole and afterwards needed help to get out. They both said that they will never again take such a risky chance with their lives.
I thank God for his grace to spare their lives and that God used me to be there just on time to direct them what to do to get out of that horrible place. I knew of the sharks in that hole. I also heard of lives of people that were lost in that vicinity because of the dangers of the water.
After my observation on the matter, I would strongly advise
anyone to carefully think and look before they leap.
Think and get good advice before taking certain risky
chances.
Going fishing? Always be careful and save yourself from
harm.
Now, may God continue to bless, protect and prosper the
lives of those two (2) Young men and you my friend whoever you are!
Smile!!!
