International School of Nanshan Shenzhen, Liu, Yisi Nicole - 16
Part I – Storm
“Abandon ship! The storm is killing us! Go to the other ship of the fleet!” Zheng said.
Sailors stood in the edge of the deck with one hand holding rigging and were ready to swing to the other ship. They
turned around.
“Captain, come! There is nothing we can do! We should go! The ship is sinking! Go!” The sailors shouted.
“No” was the answer from Captain Zheng.
“But, captain ....” The other sailors said.
“There is one more thing left me to do. Find Frist Mate Yang, and he will be your new Captain! Now, you guys go!”
Captain shouted and cut the bottom of rigging so that the sailors can reach the other ship as this abandoned ship tilted
sideways.
“Captain! Don’t!” The sailors cried.
The abandoned ship was swallowed up by the ocean soon after the sailors reach the other ship. They looked at the
direction where the ship disappeared and wish Captain can n a boat head toward them. But there was nothing. The
ocean back to normal, and dark clouds left.
“Where is Captain!” First Mate Yang shouted loud and walked toward these sailors.
“Captain... Captain... Captain is dead! !” one sailor cried.
“What! No! That cannot be true! Then who will be the captain?” First Mate Yang said.
“You are our captain of Ming Treasure Fleet, Captain Yang. You must take it since it is Captain’ last word” One sailor
answered.
“Ok, then I take it.” First Mate Yang said.
Under every crew ‘s gaze, Captain Yang walked proudly up to Quarterdeck and then he cleared his throat.
“As you may have heard that Captain Zheng is dead--------
“What? What? What?” people whispered.
“Silence!” Captain Yang ordered, “I will be your new captain and guide your way to home. However, I am the captain
which was directly appointed by former captain, and so there are a few rules required all of you to follow. First, do not
mention the old Captain Zheng because the dead are gone. Second, do not suggest me to find him because it wastes
food and water supplies. Third, be obedience because you guys are not as knowledgeable as I am. That is all, and thanks
