lifeline
1 A rope or line used for
life-saving, typically one thrown to rescue someone in difficulties
in water or one used by sailors to secure themselves to a boat.
After nearly half an hour they were spotted
by the crew of a passing boat, and a lifeline
was thrown to Rachel who was pulled aboard.
2 A thing on which someone or
something depends or which provides a means of escape from a
difficult situation.
