A Sea Voyage

The traveller decides upon a sea voyage. He books the ticket beforehand. He wants to have a separate cabin for himself and his wife. So he asks for a second-class cabin with two berths to be reserved for him.

At the port of departure the passenger, together with a number of others proceeds to the quay. The ship he wants to take is moored there. It is a fine motor ship of the latest design. The ship is to leave soon.

The passengers go up the gangway onto the deck. Here stewards are already assembled to show them their cabins. Some are forward, some are aft, some are amidship. The passengers settle down in their cabins. However, soon most of them come out on deck. Here they can breathe the rich sea air and look at the busy traffic of the harbour.

The steamer soon leaves the dock where she was moored. She goes out towards the open sea. She sails at a high speed. The sea is rough today and rolls.

Some passengers are seasick. Others are not afraid of the rough sea. They walk up and down the deck. Sometimes they catch hold of the railings in order not to fall.

Soon the shore of the sea fads from view. In a short time the passengers are invited to dinner in the restaurant. Some go down, some prefer to stay on deck, some remain in their cabins.

Towards evening the sea grows calmer. The passengers enjoy a beautiful sunset at sea.

Ne[t day the weather is better and the sea calmer, though there is a little rain in the morning. But later the sun comes out and shines brightly in the blue sky. The ship passes several other ships.

Towards evening the first port of call is reached. But the ship does not stay there long. Soon she weighs anchor and the voyage is resumed.

On the 4^th day the traveller reaches his destination. He feels healthy and refreshed, the voyage has done him much good.
