| you are: the Sea always with us
There was it in the late autumn, when a bad weather-most malicious the enemy of any seafarer. What the captain undertook, to carry out the plan to it in any way a was possible-front wind with force rejected a vessel back. And it is necessary to tell, that this captain even among "old salts" of that time was reputed as the great sinner: on a bottle bottom looked not less often, than at a compass, and talked smut so, what even at most otjavlennyh rude fellows tips of ears started to glow. When its next attempt to round ill-starred cape has terminated again in failure, it has let out such long and inconceivable tirade, what even the black clouds condensed over ocean have given vent to the protesting indignation a furious rain that has even more strongly enraged the Dutch. Through got wet, shivering from a cold and a penetrating wind, it again, not hesitating in expressions, kostmi mothers has sworn to undertake attempts to round cape Horn until will achieve the, and there and then has been taken at word by a devil. Â" Eternally to wander on the seas and oceans Â"- the sentence to the Dutch was that... And here a fourth century on absolutely promade look slender vessel kept on a surface of water only by magic force, with sails, same as the ship, shabby, but in any weather full of a wind, rushes the unfortunate captain-dead person with a command of unfortunate sailors-dead persons and harm for the eternal prokljate on more successful colleagues-seamen breaks. There is a Flying Dutch before the victim selected it always unexpectedly in any weather, and there is no such force which would help seamen of the doomed vessel to get rid of it. All and all are powerless to keep a vessel from following behind this terrible ship-phantom: will and actions of people are paralysed, they are not capable to resist. In splashes of grey-haired foam, smoothly rolling over from a wave on a wave, in extraordinary colourful light the Flying Dutch slowly, not for a moment not letting out an unfortunate vessel for limits of a supernatural attraction, conducts behind itself the victim to  destruction. However during any moment the ship-phantom suddenly disappears as suddenly, as well as has appeared. It as if thaws in sea water, evaporating on eyes of the amazed pleased seamen. But the pleasure appears premature for terrible blow about reeves at once follows. And this last, that unfortunate seamen of the doomed vessel in the life hear... Rescue comes only in one case - if on a deck from the ship-phantom throw a bag with letters - messages on (ljublennym and native which already are not present for a long time on light.
Such is a legend. And apparently, it is no casual in it a title role it is taken away to the Dutch.
