Explanation:

Theodore Taylor's "The Cay" is a coming-of-age novel about the protagonist Phillip Enright, and his companions’ survival after they were shipwrecked on an island. The story follows Phillip, Timothy, and Stew Cat during their 'isolation' on the Caribbean island.

In chapter 9, Phillip mentioned how Timothy decided to make a rope from the "tough vines" that they can get from the "north side of the island". Phillip also revealed the purpose of that rope: "The rope was for me. If he happened to be out on the reef, and I heard a plane, I could take light from our campfire, follow the rope down, and touch off the big fire. The vine rope would also serve to get me safely down to the beach."
