Which textual evidence best supports the theme of the passage?

• Craig came stumbling and sputtering out of the surf. "Call the fire department! The boathouse is on fire!"

  
  

  One glance in that direction told them there was no time to lose. "Both of you run to the house and telephone for help," cried Craig's father. I'll get over there and see what I can do."

  The boys sped up the beach, Craig in the lead. He had always been a good runner, and he ran faster than ever now, for he knew he could do something else. He could swim. Anywhere.

• He struggled for the courage to do as Matt had done. It had been so easy and so right...."The boathouse is on fire!" he gasped. "Oh my gosh, there are gasoline storage tanks and lots of boats in there. I've got to get to a phone."

  Without hesitating another moment, he waded off the sandbar and made straight for shore.

• "You're swimming!" shouted Matt happily. "That's great. Keep it up!"

• If time seemed to stand still, the tide didn't. Anxiously, Craig watched the sandbar grow narrower. He cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted desperately for help, but there was no one to hear him.

  
  

  As he scanned the shore, a thin column of smoke above the cove to the north caught his eye. Rapidly, it thickened and grew dark.
