As the stick in Little Five's hand just touched the coffin lid, the moment he felt resistance from the solid object, the coffin lid he had just touched slipped smoothly to one side and eventually sank beneath the water through the gap between the two coffins.
Just as the coffin was opened, the faces of the two men looking inside lit up with immense pleasure. They never imagined that Little Five, who had randomly chosen a coffin beneath him, would find it filled to the brim with supplies.
The others on the deck, after seeing the supplies in the coffin, wore equally relieved expressions.
Since the two had descended for exploration, not only would they not leave immediately, but they also needed to retrieve those supplies from the coffin and package them up to the deck for everyone to carefully check.
So, Little Five relaxed the rope and continued his descent. The simple act of bending down to pick something up on land became difficult while suspended from a rope.
