ДОБРЫЙ ДЕНЬ, ЧУДЕСНАЯ ВОДА СЕГОДНЯ
Двадцативосьмилетний англичанин Уильям Хонивилл возвращался домой из Австралии на борту теплохода. После непродолжительной остановки теплоход покинул остров Гран-Канария. Была глубокая ночь. Хонивилл отправился к себе в каюту, но, дойдя до двери, передумал — его соседи по каюте продолжали шумно веселиться и явно не собирались ложиться спать. В поисках тишины Хонивилл вновь поднялся на палубу и устроился с сигаретой на самой корме.
Он просидел так больше часа. Потом встал и бросил рассеянный взгляд на часы. Они показаывали 4.30 утра. Хонивилл шагнул...
Вот как он вспоминает о дальнейшем: ^
— Я не помню, как летел вниз с высоты двадцати метров. Первой мыслью после того, как я очутился в воде было — скорей догнать корабль. Но теплоход был уже далеко. Я продолжал плыть. Море было спокойно. Я стал обдумывать свое положение. Соседи по каюте вряд ли хватятся меня. Чтобы отвлечься от грустных мыслей, я стал думать о насущных делах — неоплаченных счетах, сделанных заказах.
К двум часам дня я начал ощущать усталость. Только тут я обратил внимание, что не снял с себя туфли. Подумав, я решил остаться в них — какой смысл раздеваться? Я заметно слабел.
Было около четырех часов, когда я увидел приближающийся ко мне теплоход, но подумал, что это игра воображения. На палубе не было ни одного человека: «Ну конечно, файф-о-клок» — с горечью подумал я.
В девять часов утра капитану доложили, что исчез пассажир. Капитан приказал развернуться и искать пассажира. Его нашли через шесть с половиной часов.
— Добрый день, чудесная вода сегодня! — с трудом произнес Уильям, когда его подняли на борт, и рухнул на палубу.

Ex. 51. Retell the following in English.
ВЕРЕЩАГИНСКАЯ КАРТИНА НАЙДЕНА!
В одно прекрасное утро... Да, для меня оно стало действительно прекрасным, счастливым. В это утро молодой москвич Эрик Ко-вальцик купил ноябрьский номер «Техника — молодежи» за 1966 год. Статья под заголовком «Загадка старой открытки», рассказывающая о картине «Наполеон I при реке Березине», заинтересовала его. Еще минута, и он понял, что вполне возможно, что речь идет о той картине, что находится у него дома! Она досталась ему от дедушки.
На следующий же день Эрик связался по телефону с Государственным историческим музеем. Если это действительно полотно Верещагина, то он должен предложить его музею, где собраны и экспонируются все произведения об Отечественной войне 1812 года.
В тот же день я зашел к Эрику Ковальцику. В глубоком волнении жду минуты встречи с картиной, поискам которой отдано столько лет. Вот она — передо мной! Нет ни малейшего сомнения в том, что она стоила всех затраченных мной усилий. Картина производит сильное впечатление. Суровое, даже гневное выражение лица Наполеона. Его взгляд обращен в сторону Березины, где остатки французской армии с трудом переправляются на другой берег реки. Идет снег. Солдаты прижались друг к другу. Какая-то леденящая атмосфера. Пейзаж усиливает это впечатление.
Я осматриваю каждую фигуру картины, внимательно изучаю детали. На обратной стороне картины читаю строчки: «Картина эта написана мужем моим Василием Васильевичем Верещагиным» и подпись «Л. В. Верещагина. 4 декабря 1904 года». Именно в декабре 1904 года была организована выставка произведений замечательного баталиста. Картина наверняка выставлялась на этой выставке. В 1967 году отмечалось 125-летие со дня рождения художника, и я был счастлив, что мне удалось найти его последнее незавершенное полотно.
Более десяти лет я собираю все, что связано с Верещагиным. Шли годы, собрание мое росло. Летом прошлого года я передал коллекцию в дар городу Череповцу. В доме, где родился выдающийся художник-баталист, открывается музей.
