In "The Cay," Phillip initially wants to stay in Curacao because he feels a strong attachment to his home and the familiar comforts of his life. He is also concerned about the dangers of World War II and the threat of German submarines, which heightens his desire for safety. Additionally, Phillip's youth and naivety lead him to resist the idea of leaving everything he knows behind, emphasizing his longing for stability and security.

He lived in Curacao, in the Caribbean. The World War (II) came to the island close and Phillip was sent away from the war. His ship was torpedoed and he got stranded on a Cay with a Black Person that could not spell. Phillip could not see either. They used their survival skills together and Phillip was rescued.
