it was 4o'clock in the moning We were sailing around cape hope on the south coast of africa when the loockout boy screamed out "skip coming to wards up at full speed" I came out of my cabin and went to see what was happening As soon as iwas on deck, i saw a huge ship coming up to the lift side all the people on board were looking at the ship in surprise while it was coming closer i ran to the side to get a better look at this strange ship,but the skip was no longer there it was then that i realised what was happening that was the famous shost ship,the flying dutchman it haunted these waters ever since captain ven der decken and his crew dide a hundred years ago when the ship sank in a storm i turned to look at the lookout boy but he was not on the mast according to legend whoever looksd at the ship closely,disappeared
