A letter from a sailor My dear harry, At last I have time to write to you. I am having the most exciting adventures! Now we are sailing through sparkling blue seas. The sun shines every day and the wind is gentle. It is blowing us toward India. Last week it was not like this. One evening the sky suddenly grew dark. The sun disappeared behind the black clouds. We saw a flash of lightning and we heard the rumble of thunder. The wind grew stronger. Quickly, the captain gave orders. We lowered the biggest sail. Then the storm hit us. The waves got higher and threw the ship up and down. The rain fell heavily. Our clothes were soaked with rain and sea water. We got another sail down. Then the wind ripped the last sail.it flapped around the mast in two pieces. Suddenly, the wind tore them away. They flew off into the darkness. After that, we all went below. It was the most frightening night of my life. I could not sleep at all. My hammock swung backwards and forwards. I felt terrible.
