One day, my family and I were planning to sail in our small Yacht around the Gulf countries. The yacht was equipped with all survival facilities which include a small rowing boat and this rowing boat containing a survival kit inside, the survival kit has a sharp knife, fishing tools, magnifying lenses, telescope, flare gun, a mirror, a small sheet of shiny metal and a torch light.

If you've read many Wikipedia articles, then you'll have seen plenty of inline citations. These are usually small numbered footnotes which link to a full source in a reference section when clicked, like this,<ref>{{cite book|last=Wales|first=J|title=What is an inline citation?|year=2012|publisher=Wikipublisher|pages=6}}</ref> although [[Wikipedia:Inline citations|sometimes other styles are used]]. They are generally added directly after the fact they support, or at the end of the sentence after any punctuation.

We started our trip from Doha harbor sailing to United Arab Emirates passing through Bahrain, after 5 hours sailing we were in the middle of the gulf, suddenly we noticed some water is entering the boat from the bottom. We stopped the yacht and started to investigate what is the reason for this water to come into the yacht and we found a big hole at the bottom of the yacht. The water level started to increase and the yacht started to sink. At that time we wear the life jackets and pull the rowing boat and put it in the water and jumped into it. Before jumping into the rowing boat we made sure that the survival kit is available with us.

We sailed with the rowing boat until we found a small island in the middle of the sea. We were very tired and hungry but we have no food with us, so, my father started fishing by using the fishing tools that was exist in the boat and he succeed to catch a big fish and the problem was how to cook it?

When editing a page using the popular footnotes style, inline citations are usually between <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki></ref></nowiki></code> tags.

Then, an idea came to my mind to use the magnifying lenses with some dry herbs and wood that found in the island to make a fire to use it for cooking the fish as well as warming up our cold bodies. I put the lenses in front of the sun direction and focused it into the wood and wait for the fire to start, lastly after 2 hours, the wood started to smoke and then get in fire, we put more wood to keep the fire for cooking.

After that we were very thrusty and there was no fresh water around us, so, we took water in a pot and put on the fire, the water reached to the boiling temperature and the vapor started to release and we put the mirror and the metal sheet on the top to condensate the vapor and to converted it into drinkable water.

All the references then appear together on the page, wherever the {{tl|Reflist}} template or <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code> tag is present. This will usually be in a section titled "References". If you are creating a brand new page, or adding references to a page that didn't previously have any, don't forget to add a references section like the one below, or the citations you went to all that effort adding won't show up.

After we finish eating and drinking, we started to think how to attract the attention of the passing ships to our presence on the island. My father suggested to use of the mirror and sending signal to the ships in addition to use the flare gun to attract their attention.

At the end and after many hours, one ship noticed us and sent the sailors with their rescue boat to rescue us.

Thanks to the OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS that played a leading rule in our survival.

:''Note: This is by far the most popular system for inline citations, but sometimes you might find other forms being used in an article such as references in parentheses. As a general rule, the first major contributor to an article gets to choose the referencing system used there. If an article uses a different system, just copy it when adding any new references.''
