READ
THE TEXT AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.
The
pilot who was never paid
One of
the most famous life-savers in history saved thousands of lives and many ships.
This swimmer and navigator first appeared at the end of the nineteenth century.
For more than twenty years he guided ships through dangerous waters. The
incredible life-saver could not read or write, had no training and worked for
nothing. The sailors called him Jack, and he was a dolphin.
Near
the coast of New Zealand, there is a very dangerous passage through the
D’Urville Islands called French Pass. French Pass had a bad reputation until
Jack arrived. Then for over twenty years, it was safe.
For
all those years, twenty-four hours a day, Jack met passing ships. He swam along
at the side of the ship for miles, playing and jumping into the air, then
diving under the ship and appearing on the other side. But when the ship
reached the entrance to French Pass, Jack swam in front of the ship and stayed
there, indicating the only safe channel through the Pass, until the ship was on
the other side.
In
1903, a passenger on board the Penguin drank too much and fired a gun at Jack.
The sailors were angry and wanted to throw him into the sea, but the captain
stopped them. Jack wasn’t seen for two weeks and everybody thought he was dead.
Then, one morning, he appeared again. After he was shot at by a passenger on
the Penguin, Jack never met that ship again – the only ship he refused to
accompany. With only a human pilot to guide it, the Penguin hit some underwater
rocks in the Pass a few years later and was lost. Jack probably died of old age
in 1912, but he wasn’t forgotten. The story of his life-saving ability is
recorded on a statue erected to his memory on the beach of Wellington.
