One morning captain said m-r Brown, that he had heard strange voice at night. It told several times him only ''north-north-west''. So, captain decided to sail on this directon, in spite of protests m-r Brown and other members of the ship's crew. Next day they noticed something black in the water. It turned to be a little boat, where a man slept. The stranger were sleepping, when he was taken into their ship. When he woked up he was really shocked.
