Через несколько месяцев после того, как Мартин начал заниматься самообразованием, ему снова пришлось отправиться в море, поскольку все его деньги были потрачены. Он ходил моряком на корабле, который шел в Южное море.
У капитана корабля был полный Шекспир, который он никогда не читал. Мартин постирал для него одежду, а взамен ему разрешили читать книги. Какое-то время весь мир принял форму шекспировской трагедии или комедии; даже мысли Мартина были выражены на языке Шекспира. Это натренировало его ухо и дало ему чувство хорошего английского.
Восемь месяцев были проведены хорошо; он научился понимать Шекспира и правильно говорить, а главное - он многое узнал о себе. Теперь он знал, что может сделать больше, чем сделал. Он хотел показать Рут красоту Южного моря и решил сделать это в своих письмах.
И тогда к нему пришла отличная идея. Он бы описал красоту мира не только для Рут, но и для других людей. Он мог сделать это. Он был бы одним из глаз, через которые мир видел, одним из ушей, через которые мир услышал, одним из сердец, через которые он чувствовал. Он был бы писателем. Он написал бы - все - стихи и прозу, романы и описания, и играет как Шекспир. Была карьера и способ победить Рут.
Впервые он увидел цель своей жизни и увидел ее посреди великого моря. Мартин решил начать писать, когда вернется. Он опишет путешествие в Южное море и продаст его какой-нибудь газете Сан-Франциско. Он продолжал учиться, а затем, через некоторое время, когда он научился и подготовился, он писал великие вещи.
