日期：2023-06-26 Chapter 96 Hello, Mr. Patel. My name is Tomohiro Okamoto. I am from the Maritime Department in the Japanese Ministry of Transport. This is my assistant, Atsuro Chiba. We have come to see you about the sinking of the ship Tsimtsum, of which you were... 阅读全文>>

日期：2023-06-26 Chapter 95 Mr. Tomohiro Okamoto, of the Maritime Department in the Japanese Ministry of Transport, now retired, told me that he and his junior colleague at the time, Mr. Atsuro Chiba, were in Long Beach, California - the American western seaboards m... 阅读全文>>

日期：2023-06-26 Chapter 94 When we reached land, Mexico to be exact, I was so weak I barely had the strength to be happy about it. We had great difficulty landing. The lifeboat nearly capsized in the surf. I streamed the sea anchors - what was left of them - full o... 阅读全文>>

日期：2023-06-26 Chapter 93 I grew weary of my situation, as pointless as the weather. But life would not leave me. The rest of this story is nothing but grief, ache and endurance. High calls low and low calls high. I tell you, if you were in such dire straits as I... 阅读全文>>

日期：2023-06-26 Chapter 92 I made an exceptional botanical discovery. But there will be many who disbelieve the following episode. Still, I give it to you now because its part of the story and it happened to me. I was on my side. It was an hour or two past noon on... 阅读全文>>

日期：2023-06-26 Chapter 91 I climbed aboard my brothers boat. With my hands I explored it. I found he had lied to me. He had a little turtle meat, a dorado head, and even - a supreme treat - some biscuit crumbs. And he had water. It all went into my mouth. I return... 阅读全文>>

日期：2023-05-31 Chapter 90 I said, Richard Parker, is something wrong? Have you gone blind? as I waved my hand in his face. For a day or two he had been rubbing his eyes and meowing disconsolately, but I thought nothing of it. Aches and pains were the only part of... 阅读全文>>

日期：2023-05-31 Chapter 89 Everything suffered. Everything became sun-bleached and weather-beaten. The lifeboat, the raft until it was lost, the tarpaulin, the stills, the rain catchers, the plastic bags, the lines, the blankets, the net - all became worn, stretche... 阅读全文>>

日期：2023-05-31 Chapter 88 One day we came upon trash. First the water glistened with patches of oil. Coming up soon after was the domestic and industrial waste: mainly plastic refuse in a variety of forms and colours, but also pieces of lumber, beer cans, wine bot... 阅读全文>>

日期：2023-05-31 Chapter 87 One of my favourite methods of escape was what amounts to gentle asphyxiation. I used a piece of cloth that I cut from the remnants of a blanket. I called it my dream rag. I wet it with sea water so that it was soaked but not dripping. I... 阅读全文>>

日期：2023-05-31 Chapter 86 Richard Parker, a ship! I had the pleasure of shouting that once. I was overwhelmed with happiness. All hurt and frustration fell away and I positively blazed with joy. Weve made it! Were saved! Do you understand, Richard Parker? Were sav... 阅读全文>>

日期：2023-05-31 Chapter 85 Once there was lightning. The sky was so black, day looked like night. The downpour was heavy. I heard thunder far away. I thought it would stay at that. But a wind came up, throwing the rain this way and that. Right after, a white splint... 阅读全文>>

日期：2023-05-31 Chapter 84 I was on the tarpaulin, wrapped in a blanket, sleeping and dreaming and awakening and daydreaming and generally passing the time. There was a steady breeze. From time to time spray was blown off the crest of a wave and wet the boat. Richa... 阅读全文>>

日期：2023-05-31 Chapter 83 The storm came on slowly one afternoon. The clouds looked as if they were stumbling along before the wind, frightened. The sea took its cue. It started rising and falling in a manner that made my heart sink. I took in the solar stills and... 阅读全文>>

日期：2023-05-31 Chapter 82 I kept rainwater and the water I collected from the solar stills in the locker, out of Richard Parkers sight, in the three 50-litre plastic bags. I sealed them with string. Those plastic bags wouldnt have been more precious to me had they... 阅读全文>>

日期：2023-05-31 Chapter 81 I know my survival is hard to believe. When I think back, I can hardly believe it myself. My crude exploitation of Richard Parkers weak sea legs is not the only explanation. There is another: I was the source of food and water. Richard Pa... 阅读全文>>

日期：2023-05-31 Chapter 80 Of all the dorados, I remember one in particular, a special dorado. It was early morning on a cloudy day, and we were in the midst of a storm of flying fish. Richard Parker was actively swatting at them. I was huddled behind a turtle shel... 阅读全文>>

日期：2023-05-31 Chapter 79 There were sharks every day, mainly makos and blue sharks, but also oceanic whitetips, and once a tiger shark straight from the blackest of nightmares. Dawn and dusk were their favourite times. They never seriously troubled us. On occasio... 阅读全文>>

日期：2023-05-31 Chapter 78 There were many skies. The sky was invaded by great white clouds, flat on the bottom but round and billowy on top. The sky was completely cloudless, of a blue quite shattering to the senses. The sky was a heavy, suffocating blanket of gre... 阅读全文>>
