When I was playing a card game with some new acquaintances in that coastal sea while I was waiting

for
the ship to my home town, I heard suddenly, distinctly and loudly: “Waverunner”. It was a woman’s
voice. I asked my playmates if they heard something too, but they considered that I was making a joke
or was trying to distract their attention. I went to have a stroll near the sea in order to forget about the
spooky event by means of observation of the ships, when, out of sudden, I saw a little ship which was
labeled: “The waverunner”. Instantly I forgot about my disease and made up my mind to proceed my
journey. Since I was hindered by the power of 'might-have-beens', I thought that it was the destiny.

Later I found out that the captain of the ship was a middle-aged man Gez. Since I was imploring him to
take me on as a sailor, he finally agreed.
When I was on the board, I found out that Gez was a vicious and untrustworthy man who liked drinking
(nominative construction – Gez turned……………………………………….), and he had even taken prostitutes to
the board. One evening he was as usual having a party with other sailors and his friends, and he hit one
of the prostitutes. Surely, I interfered and protected her. I hit Gez into the face. After that Gez acted in a
most hypocritical way. He came to me pretending to be sorry for his action and asked me if he was
forgiven. I answered positively; he shook my hand and then replied: “But you are not”. And after a
minute сaptain Ges ordered (своим морякам бросить меня) into the open sea in a boat, when
suddenly we all heard a woman’s voice: “Wait, I will go with him”. Nobody saw her before, and others
were amazed not less than me.
