The Strait of Death
From time immemorial, the Strait of Death has claimed many lives of brave sailors who took risks going through it on their ships in order to shorten the way. One old sailor was the only one who once managed to survive after a shipwreck in this cursed strait. But he had to pay a very high price for his luck. Read a new action-packed adventure story “The Strait of Death” by Vadim Kucherenko, the writer known both in Russia and abroad.
– The sea, the sea, – grumbled an old man. – What do you know about the sea, boy? I mean the real sea, when you can’t even see the coast through the highest scope telescope, when the wind is a hundred knots and the waves are up to the sky…
The "boy" who was being scolded by the old sailor might have been not less than thirty-five. And it didn’t seem at all that he hadn't seen the sea – it had left too much of a mark on his face and hands, and had thoroughly tanned his skin with sea salt and squalls. But not a shadow of resentment flickered in his blue, like the sea in clear weather eyes.
