That was that.



Snowy: Ah, he's waking up at last!

Tintin:Where am I?

Tintin: Now I remember...We were hit by a gigantic wave...and that was that.

This quote is from Tintin's "Cigars of the Pharaoh". Could you tell me what "That was that." means?

Context: Tintin had been drifting inside a coffin in the middle of the sea, until he was saved by a ship.
