Asked by Wiki User

Timothy dies in a hurricane that sweeps through their island, and Phillip buries him. A couple weeks (or days cant remember) later Phillip hears a plane so he sets their pile of "emergency" sticks on fire. The plane sees them and radios in on a ship. The ship goes to the island and rescues Phillip and stew cat. Phillip is reunited with his family and after a couple of surgeries gains his sight again. And then it basically ends with him saying that he hopes to go on a cruise one day around the cay to try to find the island he buried timothy in, and say to his grave, "Dis b'dat outrageous cay, eh, Timothy?'

From the book The Cay by Theodore Taylor what event signaled a turning point or complete change in Timothy and Phillip's relationship?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Timothy and Phillip first got stranded on the cay because of WW2. Phillip and his mother went on the S.S.HATO to go to America while his father stayed and worked. The boat was torpedoed and Phillip and his mother got separated. Timothy had been on the boat, too. Phillip was found by Timothy, and they both floated to the island. Hope I helped!
