They sailed for many a day, seeking the enchanted island of eternal youth. Our dear pup cheered the lonely sailors on the voyage, and each of the men, unbeknownst to the others, would sneak him a scrap from their rations. The Sea Dog grew happy, fat, and flourishing, but the men began to grow thin. Each day, the rations grew scantier.

They held on, scorning food, knowing that one step onto the enchanted isle would recover their health forever.

Then a storm swept the sea, and for 14 long days, they were driven backward, tossed to and fro, and spun around and around without a glimpse of the stars. One by one, the men dropped from starvation, and yet still, they held on. They were, in fact, in such close proximity to the Island that they had come into the the vortex of the enchanted breezes.
