Matt reveals himself to be the rescuer of Molloy, and befriends Kate, who confides in him the creatures and her goal. She came aboard the Aurora because although Molloy's notebooks had described fantastical creatures, no one would believe in them, and she wanted to prove that what her grandfather saw was real. Before death, Molloy mentions beautiful creatures in the sky.Ī year later, Matt meets the granddaughter of Molloy, Kate de Vries. During his second year on the Aurora, when he is fourteen, Matt meets and rescues the balloonist Benjamin Molloy, who later dies from dehydration, malnutrition, and heart failure. He chose to become a cabin boy because his father had worked on the same ship until falling off in an accident when Matt was twelve. Matt Cruse is a cabin boy on the Aurora, a large passenger airship that sails above the ocean, ferrying wealthy passengers from city to city.
