In Chapter 18, everyone is shocked to find that they are in the middle of the sea. The Earthworm proclaims that they are all finished, destined to drown, at least until James explains the peach is actually floating. Although the Old-Green-Grasshopper maintains that everything will be fine in the end, Earthworm tries to upset the others by insisting they are still in a bad situation - they have no food.
