Question by Me: What does the phrase, "it took him at low water" mean? im reading lord of the flies right now, and i came across this sentence, and i would really like to know what it means please. this is the paragraph: "Coming?" At that word the other boys forgot their urge to be gone and turned back to sample this fresh rub of thwo spirits in the dark. The word was too good, too bitter, too successfully daunting to be repeated. It took Ralph at low water when his nerve was relaxed for the return to the shelter and the still, friendly waters of the lagoon. Best answer for What does the phrase, "it took him at low water" mean?:
Answer by steves95008 Answer by emma-nemma
It typically referees to the time of day for low tide. Thus to really understand it you need to know the local tide schedule.
When someone would cross a stream or river at "low water" he would be relaxed and not anticipate any danger. However, as if in a flash flood, he was taken by surprise, not anticipating the event, and was completely caught off guard.

SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft was successfully launched Sunday, and by Wednesday morning the International Space Station crew should be greeting it with open arms.
NASA's Sunita Williams, ISS commander, and Japanese colleague Aki Hoshide will stretch out the station's robotic arm to install the Dragon on Wednesday at 4:22 a.m. (7:22 a.m. Eastern), according to NASA. The Dragon will be attached to the station for 18 days before heading back to Earth, splashing down in the Pacific off Southern California.
There was a sense of euphoria at NASA and SpaceX, or Space Exploration Technologies Corp., with the kickoff of a mission that inaugurates a new era for NASA -- one in which private companies resupply the station by contract with NASA.

SpaceX's billionaire CEO, Elon Musk, said: "We still have a lot of work to do... as we guide Dragon's approach to the space station. But the launch was an unqualified success."
Meanwhile, NASA is gearing up for another space-station first -- a yearlong mission by two astronauts that will give researchers a chance to better study the effects of extended time in space on the human body.
Earlier this month, the space agency and its international partners agreed to send one U.S. astronaut and one Russian cosmonaut on the yearlong expedition. The pair will travel in a Russian Soyuz spacecraft in a voyage to begin spring 2015.
SPACE QUIZ: Blue moons, meteors and more
There have been people aboard the space station for 12 years now, which has given researchers "valuable, often surprising" insight on how microgravity affects human bones and muscles, eyesight, strength and other physical factors, NASA says.Â
Now scientists want to know more, with the long-term goal of going farther and deeper into space.
"In order for us to eventually move beyond low Earth orbit, we need to better understand how humans adapt to long-term spaceflight," Michael Suffredini, International Space Station program manager, said in an announcement of the plan.
