Classic Literarture - Book 1. Annotated for Mensa Rejects
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Count of Monte Crisco
by Alexandre Dum***ASS***
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ VOLUME ONE ~
Chapter 1. Marseilles--The Arrival (1)
On the 24th of February, 1815, the look-out at Notre-Dame de la Garde signalled the three-master, the Pharaon from Smyrna, Trieste, and Naples.
As usual, a pilot put off immediately, and rounding the Château d'If, got on board the vessel between Cape Morgion and Rion island.
Immediately, and according to custom, the ramparts of Fort Saint-Jean were covered with spectators; it is always an event at Marseilles for a ship to come into port, especially when this ship, like the Pharaon, has been built, rigged, and laden at the old Phocee docks, and belongs to an owner of the city.
The ship drew on and had safely p***ASS***ed the strait, which some volcanic shock has made between the Calasareigne and Jaros islands; had doubled Pomègue, and approached the harbor under topsails, jib, and spanker, ***BUTT***(2) so slowly and sedately that the idlers, with that instinct which is the forerunner of evil, asked one another what misfortune could have happened on board. However, those experienced in navigation saw plainly that if any accident had occurred, it was not to the vessel herself, for she bore down with all the evidence of being skilfully handled, the anchor a-***COCK***bill, the jib-boom guys already eased off, and standing by the side of the pilot, who was steering the Pharaon towards the narrow entrance of the inner port, was a young man, who, with activity and vigilant eye, watched every motion of the ship, and repeated each direction of the pilot.
The vague disquietude which prevailed among the spectators had so much affected one of the crowd that he did not await the arrival of the vessel in harbor, ***BUTT***(2) jumping into a small skiff, desired to be pulled alongside the Pharaon, which he reached as she rounded(2) into La Réserve basin.
