Stage 6
It was a dark, starless night. We were in the Northern Pacific ocean, on a calm sea. There was no wind at all,
and our little ship was not moving. Our exact position I do not know. For a week, the sun had been hidden by a
(1)
skinny / thin / slim / narrow
mist which had seemed to float (2)
below / across / through / above
us, about
the height of our (3)
masts / roof / ceiling / clouds,
sometimes descending to cover the surrounding (4)
lake
/ land / sea / river
like a blanket.
As there was (5)
not / no / none / nothing
wind, there was little to do, (6)
but / then / and / because
I was the
only man on (7)
decking / floor / ground / deck.
The crew, consisiting of two men (8)
also / with / and / then
a
boy, were sleeping in their (9)
room / cabin / carriage / seats,
while Will – my friend and the (10)
boss / captain
/ coach / head
of our boat – was asleep in (11)
an / a / some /the
other cabin.
Suddenly, from out of (12)
near / black / the / terrible
darkness, came a cry:
‘Schooner, ahoy!’
(13)
It / That / What / I
was so unexpected that I did (14)
not have / not / never / had not
answer immediately.
It came again – a (15)
speech / noise / voice / sound
strangely low and inhuman, calling from (16)
anywhere
/ somewhere / nowhere / where
on the dark sea to our (17)
left / boat / behind / mast.
‘Schooner, ahoy!’
‘Hello!’ I cried. ‘What – (18)
So / How / Which / What
are you? What do you want?’
‘(19)
You / Do / Don’t / Have
need not be afraid,’ answered the (20)
strange / surprising / familiar
/ uncommon
voice, having probably noticed some uncertainty (21)
about / of / on / in
my words. ‘I am only an
(22)
antique / ancient / old / mature
. . . man.’
The pause sounded odd, but (23)
that / then / it / there
was only afterwards that I considered (24)
it’s / its
/ it / it is
importance.
‘Why don’t you come nearer (25)
than / then / to / from?’
I asked, annoyed that he thought (26)
it / I’m / I
/ that
was afraid.
‘I – I can’t. It (27)
couldn’t / wouldn’t / shouldn’t / mustn’t
be safe. I –’ He stopped, and (28)
then / so / just
/ when
there was silence.
‘What do you (29)
say / mean / think / do?’
I asked. ‘Where are you?’
I (30)
listened / heard / looked / watched
for a moment, but there was no answer. A sudden suspicion I could
not explain came over me, and I quickly got a lighted lamp and knocked on the deck with my foot to wake up
Will. Then I was at the side of the boat, throwing the yellow stream of light into the silent darkness.
I heard a slight, low cry and then the sound of a splash, as if someone had dipped oars into the water. Yet I
cannot be certain I saw anything, except that with the first flash of light, there had been something on the water,
where now there was nothing.
