[[File:3778.jpg|left]]Rynelf meets [[Edmund Pevensie|Edmund]], [[Lucy Pevensie|Lucy]], and [[Eustace Clarence Scrubb|Eustace]] when [[Caspian]] orders Rynelf to bring them some spiced wine after they are pulled from the ocean. Rynelf stays aboard the Dawn Treader during most of the adventures, but he experiences some himself when they sail to the Dark Island. When Rynelf is confronted with his living nightmares, he says he can hear "them crawling up the side of the ship." But when [[Aslan]] saves them, Rynelf is the first to see the tiny speck of light ahead, and he is also the first to laugh at himself for being a fool at the Dark Island. On Ramandu's Island, Rynelf gives a speech to the men who want to give up the voyage, telling them how much they would regret sailing this far but not continuing on to the end of the world. When they reach the end of the world and Caspian announces that he will not be returning to Narnia, but rather sailing on with [[Reepicheep]], Rynelf is among those who stand up to [[Caspian]] to forbid him to do this. After [[Aslan]] appears to [[Caspian]], they turn around and sail back to Narnia with [[Caspian]] still their king. | [[File:3778.jpg|left]]Rynelf meets [[Edmund Pevensie|Edmund]], [[Lucy Pevensie|Lucy]], and [[Eustace Clarence Scrubb|Eustace]] when [[Caspian]] orders Rynelf to bring them some spiced wine after they are pulled from the ocean.

| + | ==About Rynelf== | ||
| + | Rynelf is a loyal sailor aboard the Dawn Treader and his job is to take soundings (measuring the depth of the ocean). He is respected by the crew and this allows him to step out and make a crucial speech when the sailors were wavering in their loyalty on Ramandu's Island. Rynelf demonstrates his loyalty as a friend and subject to [[Caspian]] when he opposes Caspian's selfish decision to sail on with [[Reepicheep]] to the end of the world. Though [[Caspian]] is his king, Rynelf is not afraid to stand up to [[Caspian]] when he sees the king making a poor decision. Rynelf is reliable, unselfish, and committed to the good of all those sailing on the Dawn Treader. | ||
