The story from unregister passenger
Today I want to tell you a story about my voyage on a ship called "Mary Celeste". I was unregister passenger and I was the only one who has survived. That's why it makes my blood boil when somebody lies about things that happened on the board of the "Mary Celeste".
But I digress from the point.
I was unregister passenger because acording to the british laws captain couldn't take me on the board, but his wife was my close friend. I got on with her like a house on fire. We had our own ups and downs, but stayed together through thick and thin.
It was a perfect day when suddenly crew heard a shot. We supposed that pirates attacked us but horizon was clear. Than we heard a second shot. Some sailors went to the below decks and found that hatch and a part of the ship were damaged. Captain understood that it wasn't a shots, it was gus kicks. We lost our nerve because a cargo of alcohol was enough to blow up a ship. Crew opened all hatches, but we all were troubled by this problem.
Captain ordered everybody to move on a lifeboat. It was bound to a ship by rope.
While we were waiting for another gus kick, a horrible storm started. When we tried o come back to a ship, robe broke and lifeboat was damaged by waves and fell to pieces.
I was able to hold onto remains of the lifeboat and eventually I was washed up on the shore of unhabbited island. And after some time another ship saved me.
This is the end of the story.

A stowaway's story
Today I want to tell you a story about my voyage on a ship called "Mary Celeste". I was an unregistered passenger and I was the only one who survived (the shipwreck?). That's why it makes my blood boil when somebody lies about things that happened on board the "Mary Celeste".But I digress.
I was a stowaway because according to the British laws the captain couldn't take me on the board. His wife was my close friend, however, and I got on with her like a house on fire. We had our ups and downs, but stayed together through thick and thin.
It was a perfect day when suddenly the crew heard a shot. We supposed it was pirates but the horizon was clear. Then we heard a second shot. Some sailors went to below deck and found that a hatch and a part of the ship were damaged. The Captain understood that they weren't shots but (gus kicks?). We lost our nerve because a cargo of alcohol was enough to blow up a ship. The crew opened all hatches, but we all were troubled by this problem.
The Captain ordered everybody to move to the lifeboat that was tied to the ship by rope.
While we were waiting for another gus kick, a terrible storm came. When we tried to come back to the ship, the rope snapped and the lifeboat destroyed by the waves.
I was able to hold onto the remains of the lifeboat and eventually I was washed up on the shore of an unhabited island. And after some time another ship found me.
This is the end of the story.
