- I'm Becca Robinson.

My family decided to move from Switzerland to Australia,

and we we sailing across the Indian Ocean on a ship

called the Blackburn Rock.

We sailed for weeks and weeks

under the clear blue skies,

slowly heading toward the Pacific Ocean,

and our new home.

Oh, look!

Mr. Donkey's getting a bath!

Let's watch!

- [Jack] OK!

- He really likes to take a bath.

- Yeah, it's been a long time

since he was all cleaned up.

Do you want to ride on him?

- Sure!

(giggling)

Go, boy!

Huh?

Come on, move, boy!

He's not going!

Whoa!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

(grunting)

That hurt!

(laughing)

Hmm.

Oh how boring!

Hmm, yes!

- Oh!

Becca, don't go up there!

It's dangerous!

- I'll be all right, don't worry!

(sighing)

- Hey!

- Wow, you can see a long way from up here.

Look at all that water for miles and miles and miles!

I can't see land anywhere,

but that's OK.

I think I'll take a nap.

(yawning)

Right here.

- Ahh, hmm.

- [Becca] Our ship sailed on and on,

and as the days and weeks turned into months,

we entered the Christmas season.

It was exciting, but I was a little confused,

because it was the middle of the summer.

Dad explained that we were in the southern half of the world

where the seasons are reversed.

And so we got ready for Christmas in the summer.

All the people in the ship

came to see our play.

Mom and Dad, Emily's family,

and even the sailors.

(audience applauding)

- I'm a wise man from the east.

- Me, too.

I'm a wise man, too.

- Me, too.

- And I am King Herod, ruler of all the land.

- We have come to see the new king born in Judea.

Where is he?

- What?

Did I hear you say a new king was born?

- That's right.

I followed his star shining in the darkness.

- Me, too.

I came to pray to him also.

- What are you saying?

I'm the only king around here!

Tell you what, wise man.

When you find this new king,

let me know where he is, OK?

I want to go see him, too.

- Whatever you say, King Herod.

- I sure fooled them!

I just want to kill that king.

- Wise guys, look, I see a star!

- Look, it's moving.

Let's follow it.

- [Boy in purple] It's taking us to the new king.

- It stopped right over there.

- But there's only an old barn.

- He couldn't be in there.

- Mm.

My um...

I um...

Uh, my um.

- Jack, come on!

Oh, I was afraid of this.

- I'm God's messenger!

- Oh yeah!

I am God's messenger.

(laughing)

- [Wise men] Yes, sir.

- I'm a messenger from God.

- [Becca] You just have to say it once, now go on!

- Oh.

Now don't go back and tell Becca

where you found the new king.

(laughing)

- No, dummy!

My name is King Herod!

- I knew that.

(laughing)

Don't go back and tell King Herod

you found a new king here in the stable.

He just wants to kill him.

Go back home another way.

- [Wise men] OK!

(sighing)

- [Boy in purple] Here he comes.

- [Wise men] Wow!

- [Becca] We had a real baby

play the part of Jesus,

thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Edwards.

(crying)

- Oh, hush.

Hush, hush, my little baby.

This is your big debut.

(laughing)

- [Becca] What a wonderful time we all had.

♫ Silent night

♫ Holy night

♫ All is calm

♫ All is bright

♫ Round yon virgin

♫ Mother and child

♫ Holy infant

♫ So tender and mild

♫ Sleep in heavenly peace ♫ - [Becca] No one expected

what happened next.

- [Man] Oh my goodness!

- Oh! Whoa!

What a wind!

(murmuring)

- My passengers go back down to your cabins!

Move quickly!

But be careful, the deck is slippery!

Get down below!

- Come on, Jack! (grunting)

- Take in the sheet!

All hands aloft!

Step lively, lads!

(chattering)

Tie it off!

(wind roaring)

Tear the sail, there's no other way!

- [Sailor] Aye, aye, sir!

(grunting)

(grunting)

- It's really rocky.

- Ernest, will we be safe?

- Oh!

Where's Fritz?

- Oh my word, where is he?

- I'll go look for him.

- Where on Earth would Fritz stay this long?

- Fritz! Fritz!

Oh, Fritz!

- We're OK.

- Oh good.

We were starting to get rather worried.

Better hurry, the storm is getting worse.

- OK, but Emily better walk slowly

so she doesn't trip on her long dress.

- Why don't you just pull the dress up

so you can walk?

- Mr. Robinson, that wouldn't be the proper way for me.

I'm Mary, the mother of Jesus.

(shouting)

- Uh-oh.

- Oh, I'm so embarrassed.

I'll never be an actress.

Thanks.

- Now now, you better hurry back to your room.

- All right.

See you later, Fritz!

- [Fritz] Bye.

- [Dr. Robinson] She really is something.

- [Fritz] She's OK.

(laughing)

- Bat down that gear, Mister!

Steady as she goes!

Now hard at port, quartermaster!

- Ernest?

- I'm going to see if there are any injured people on board.

Right now the doctor probably needs

all the help he can get,

so I want you to say here where you're safe.

- Don't leave!

- No, Mother, he's right.

Stay here with us.

- All right, Fritz.

Thank you.

I know you'll be watching out for me.

- I will, too, Mom.

- Yes darling, I know you will.

- Yes.

- Oh, me too!

- Oh yes, I know we will all stick together.

(lightning crashing)

(lightning crashing)

- Robert!

- I know.

- Hush, baby.

It's all right.

Oh!

- Mom, are you all right?

- Well, Becca, ever since I was a little girl,

I've been very afraid of thunder.

- Which is worse?

Thunder or a rat?

- Rebecca Robinson, this is no time for jokes!

(groans)

(giggling)

- Oh!

I wonder how the animals are doing?

(horse neighing)

(monkey chattering)

(chickens clucking)

- Oh!

- Ahoy! Watch out!

- Got another one for you, doctor.

He's hurt pretty bad.

- I've already got more than I can handle.

There's only two of us.

I'm afraid you're going to just have to help him yourself.

- What? By myself?

(moaning)

(coughing)

- Why don't you bring him over here, sailor?

- The bulkhead's cracked, Captain.

We can't hold it!

- Hey!

Gather as many men as possible

to come bail out the water!

(grunting)

- There.

(grunting)

Quick!

- [Becca] The ship was rocking so much

that Mom became very seasick.

- Now you just try and get some rest, Mother dear.

Dad said you'd feel a lot better

once things calm down a little.

- A little thunderstorm doesn't bother me at all!

Whoa!

Oops!

I guess King Herod slipped up again.

- Yippee!

I'm a messenger from God, Becca, look!

- God sure is being mean to us.

- What?

Becca, you shouldn't say things like that about God.

- Well, he made the storm come

and wreck our Christmas play.

- Well, sometimes bad things happen,

but you should never blame God.

Sometimes in life we go through bad times,

but God is always there for us.

God loves us, and he's always there with us.

It is hard not to be scared sometimes,

but even then he's protecting us, Becca.

Why don't we pray and thank God

for being here with us even in this storm

and maybe if we pray hard enough,

he will make the storm end as well

and calm the sea.

- Yes, I'd like to.

Whoa!

The storm kept blowing and tossing the ship.

(honking)

- What's wrong?

The paddle wheels have stopped turning!

- The shaft's broken and she's about to go, Captain!

- [Captain] Broken, you say?

What's wrong with it?

- Too much pressure.

- That's terrible.

- [Becca] The storm kept raging around us, day and night.

After five days, everyone on the ship was exhausted.

(snoring)

- How long will this storm last?

It's already been five whole days.

- I can hardly believe I'm still alive, Fritz.

Who's that?

- [Fritz] Oh, Dad!

- [Becca] Dad, are you all right?

- Yes, I am.

I just need some sleep.

How's your mother?

- [Fritz] She's very tired.

- Yes, I can believe that.

- [Fritz and Becca] Daddy!

- Let me give you a hand.

- My Daddy.

- [Fritz] There.

- [Dr. Robinson] Thank you, Fritz.

- You haven't slept for days, have you?

- No, there's still so much to do.

Fritz, do you think you could go and help them?

There are still quite a few injured people.

- Sure, Dad.

I'd be happy to go.

- [Mother] Fritz!

- Hmm?

- Are you leaving the cabin?

- Yes, but Father's back with you now.

Everything's going to be just fine, Mother.

- Well, be careful, all right?

- OK Mom, don't worry.

I've probably got more energy

than the whole crew put together.

I'll see you later.

- Fritz!

- Take care of them Becca.

I'll be back later.

Bye-bye.

- Come on, Jack.

God, won't you make this all stop?

We've had enough!

- Throw all the cargo overboard!

We've got to get rid of the extra weight!

Baggage, food.

All the crates and barrels.

All the equipment!

Everything that's heavy!

Get it off the ship!

Cut those ropes, push those crates off the deck immediately!

(grunting)

- [Sailor] Over here!

- [Man] Push it overboard!

- [Sailor] Over the side!

(grunting)

Come on!

(shouting)

- Look out!

(gasping)

- It's coming straight for us!

(grunting)

Help!

- [Captain] Swim, boy!

(groaning)

- Hey!

This is weird!

The floor is all slanted.

- And the ship doesn't seem to be rocking anymore.

- Hey, you're right, Mom, it isn't.

- Look out!

(grunting)

(screaming)

Robert!

- [Robert] Catherine! Catherine!

(screaming)

- [Man] The ship is going to sink!

(shouting)

- I can't, there's no room here.

- Ah, please, I've got to get in!

- Take my niece!

- [Man] Don't leave me here!

- Oh, the whole ship is up on a slant.

- Hold tight to the railing

so you don't slip, Becca.

Are you feeling any better, Anna?

- Yes, dear.

Thank you, I'm feeling much better

since the ship stopped rocking back and forth so terribly.

But I wonder what's happened.

The ship's not moving.

- Aren't these stairs funny, Jack?

They go across instead of up and down.

- They're also very dangerous.

Be careful, children.

- [Jack] OK, Daddy.

- [Becca] Oh no!

These are almost straight up and down.

- [Mother] Oh dear, Ernest, what will we do?

- [Becca] That's easy!

Climb up like a monkey.

- Be very careful, Becca.

Even monkeys can slip and fall.

(shouting)

Good heavens, look at this!

- The ship has run aground on a rock or something.

Where'd everyone go?

Look! There they are,

they are all over there in the lifeboats.

- Let's go!

(shouting)

- [Dr. Robinson] Watch out!

- [Jack] Whee, oh!

- [Dr. Robinson] Here we come!

- Becca!

Becca, over here!

- Emily!

- Wait, let the Robinsons get in,

don't leave them here on the ship!

(chattering)

- We can't wait for them!

- Let's go!

We'll all sink with the ship!

- Let's launch this thing!

- Don't do it!

Don't leave without them!

(shouting)

- [Man] We don't have time!

Hurry up, lower the boat!

- This is the very last one!

Let the Robinsons come in, too!

Becca!

- Emily!

- [Emily] Fritz! Where's Fritz?

(gasping)

- [Becca] Fritz!

- I can't find Fritz anywhere!

Do you know where he is, Ernest?

- I don't!

- Maybe he's on another lifeboat.

- I certainly hope so.

But I really don't think Fritz would've gotten on a lifeboat

and left us behind.

Oh, where can he be?

- Maybe he's still around on the ship somewhere, Dad.

Fritz!

- Fritz!

- Fritz!

Fritz!

- Fritz, where are you?

- Fritz!

- Hey, Fritz!

Fritz!

- Come out, Fritz!

- Fritz, my son, where are you?

Come back!

- [Dr. Robinson] Fritz!

- [Becca] Fritz!

(somber music)

We kept calling and looking for Fritz,

but he was nowhere to be found.

We wondered what had happened to him.

And was he safe?

Besides that, there were no more lifeboats left.

Emily had gone with the last one

and we were all left alone in a sinking ship.

What a miserable situation.

Was this how our journey would end?
