At sea, an artist is drawing a sketch, when he accidentally throws his pencil into the sea, which makes him cry. The French Narrator then states the number one rule of the artist at sea: Always bring a spare pencil. The next day Jermey propelled the pencil back to the artist who grabs it and continues drawing, but when he touches his canvas, the lead snaps. Then, The French Narrator announces the second rule of the artist at sea: Always bring a pencil sharpener.
