Калинин Владислав Disaster! About 70 years ago, a Dutch ship was wrecked near the North Pole. It was heading for Blacklead Island. On the ship was a scientist, Edgar Greenhead, who had worked on the island for many years. He had been doing conducting research into the life of the local inhabitants, who were Eskimos (Inuits). Greenhead had been away for a long holiday and now he was returning back to the island to continue his work. At about midnight, Greenhead felt very tired as he had been writing his journal all day. After he had said goodnight to the captain, he came down to his cabin. Outside there was a strong wind, and the waves were crashing onto the side of the ship. Greenhead was just about ready to climb into his bunk when he suddenly felt a great crash. He dashed upon the deck and although it was dark he could see that the ship had run into an iceberg.
