Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, 1862.
The captain sighed. This was the thickest fog he had ever seen. They were over 330 kilometres from the closest land, so he didn’t know where to go. The ship was on its way to Europe. Just ten hours ago they left New York, but now the engine stopped working. Clearly, they needed help!

3. How did the captain send a message to Billy?
“You are our last hope, little guy,” said the captain as he tied a note to Arny, the smaller and younger of the two pigeons. The captain threw him into the air. Arny flew around and around, higher and higher. Soon, the bird was away from the ship, and the captain couldn’t see Arny anymore.
“That’s a good sign,” said the captain with more hope.

Answer: The captain tied a help note to Army the homing pigeon's leg and released him to fly back to land.
