The Count of Monte Cristo
Dumas
brief introduction
The story tells that Edmond Tangtais, the first mate of the Pharaon during the 100-day dynasty of the French emperor Napoleon in the 19th century, was entrusted by the captain to send a letter by the Napoleonic Party, and was framed by two despicable judges. Father Faria, a friend, gave him all kinds of knowledge and told him the secret of a batch of treasures buried in Monte Cristo before he died. After Tang Tais escaped from prison, he found the treasure and became a rich man. From then on, he became a pseudonym of Count of Monte Cristo, and he repaid the benefactor and punished his enemy. It was full of strange colors, novelty and attraction.
Chapter 1 Ship to Marseille
On February 24, 115, the lookout at the lookout tower on the typhoon weir signaled to the people that the three-masted ship Pharaoh had arrived. It came from Smyrna via Trieste Naples, and immediately a pilot was sent to bypass Fort Yves and board the ship on the island of Caprion in the Morchin Sea.
The platform of St. Qi ‘an Island was immediately crowded with spectators. After all, it was a great event for a large ship to enter the port in Marseille, especially for a ship like Pharaoh, whose owner was a local ship and whose assembly was built in the Buddha Shipyard, which was particularly eye-catching.
The Pharaon is approaching, and it has successfully passed through Jeros Island, Karasharin Island. The strait caused by several volcanic eruptions bypassed Bomiqi Island and approached the port. Although the ship pulled up three mainmast sails, a large jib sail and a back mast sail, it sailed very slowly and landed with a listless sample. Those who watched the boat could feel what misfortune happened and asked each other what happened to the boat. However, those nautical experts saw at a glance that something really happened, so it must have been because of the boat. In all respects, it shows no signs of manipulation. The pilot is driving the agile Pharaon through the narrow tunnel entrance of Marseille Port. Next to the pilot, a young man is gesticulating agilely. His keen eyes are watching every move of the ship and repeating every order of the pilot.
There was a feeling of anxiety among the spectators on the shore. One of them couldn’t wait for the sailboat to enter the port, so he jumped into a small boat and sailed to meet the big ship. The small boat approached the Pharaoh when the big ship reached the opposite place of Risef Bay.
The young man in the big ship took off his hat when he saw the bearer and left the pilot and came to the boat. He was a slender young man about nineteen years old, with black eyes and black hair. His appearance gave people an extremely calm and resolute feeling. The calm and resolute temperament was that he had experienced difficulties and obstacles since childhood.
Ah, it’s you, cried Dants. What’s the matter? What makes your ship look so depressed?
It’s too bad, Mr. Morel. The young man replied, it’s too bad, especially for me. We lost our brave captain Lesquereux near Chivita Vecchia.
What about the goods? Asked the owner anxiously.
The goods are safe, Mr. Morel. I think you are satisfied with that, but pity Captain Lesquereux.
How is the cargo? asked the owner.
The goods arrived safely without loss, but poor captain Lesquereux, what happened to him? What happened? The owner asked the honorable captain what happened with a little relaxation.
He’s dead.
Did it fall into the sea?
No, sir, he died of meningitis, and he was in great pain at the end of his life. Then he turned to the crew and called for attention to anchor.
The crew immediately started according to the command line, with a total of one to ten sailors. They ran to the big sail line, to the main sail line of the jib, and to control the swing sail line. The young sailor looked around and turned to the owner as soon as he saw that his order had been carried out quickly and accurately.
How did this unfortunate incident happen? The shipowner waited for a while and then picked up the topic again.
Alas, sir, it was unexpected that before leaving Naples, Captain Lesquereux had a long talk with the port governor of Naples, and he felt very uncomfortable. Twenty-four hours later, he had a fever and died three days later. We buried him at sea as usual. He wanted to come, and he could rest in peace. We sewed him end to end in a hammock, put two pieces of lead weighing 36 pounds at his feet, and buried him at sea just outside El Rio Island. We brought back his sword cross medal of honor to prepare for his wife as a souvenir. The captain’s life was finally not wasted, and he said with a melancholy smile on his face.
Edmond, you know, the owner said that he seemed more and more relieved. We are all mortal, and the old people will eventually give way to the young people, otherwise you will see that the young people will get a promotion and you have assured me of the goods.
The goods are in good condition, Mr. Morrel. Believe me, I think you will earn 25 thousand francs less on this voyage.
At this time, when the ship passed the round tower, the young man shouted to pay attention to preparing the mainsail and the jib.
His order were carried out at once, just like a big warship.
Sail-winding Sail The last command just reached the sail, and all came. The ship was sliding forward by inertia, and it was almost imperceptible that it was moving forward.
Now come aboard, M. Morrel. Dantè s said that he saw that the owner was in a hurry and said that your escort, M. Danglars, had left the cabin. He would tell you the details. I still have to take care of the funeral of anchoring the ship.
Without saying anything, the shipowner immediately caught Dantè s throwing him a rope, and the young man climbed the side ladder as quickly as a sailor. The young man went to carry him out, leaving the ship king, who he called Danglars, together. Danglars is now coming to the shipowner. He is about twenty-five years old, and he is born with an unpleasant face of flattery and contempt. When he comes to the ship as a escort, he makes the sailors hate him personally, and some factions are also annoying. The crew hates him but loves Edmond Dantè s very much.
M. morrel, danglars said, you have heard that we have suffered misfortune
Alas, poor Captain Lesquereux. He is indeed a brave and honest man.
But also a sailor, who spent his life in the sea and blue sky, is the most suitable person to be in charge of such an important company as Morel’s father’s company, Danglars replied
But as he spoke, the owner fixed his eyes on the command and anchored. In my opinion, Danglars, a sailor, needs to be very practical, and he doesn’t need to be as old as you said, because you see that our friend Edmond seems to be doing well without instructions.
It was Danglars who glanced at Edmond with a look of hatred, saying that he was young and young people always thought highly of him. Just after the captain died, he took command of the opposite side without consulting anyone, and he even delayed in Elba for a day and a half without returning directly to Marseilles.
Speaking of his command of the ship, Morel said that since he was the first mate of the ship, it should be his responsibility to delay in Elba for a day and a half, and it was his fault unless there was something wrong with the ship.
This ship is as sick as you and me. M. Morrel was in waves for a day and a half because he was going to shore for something else.
The owner of dantes turned to call the young man here.
I’ll come as soon as Mr. Dantè s answers, and then he shouts to the crew to break down.
The anchor was thrown off the chain at once, and there was a bang. Although the pilot was present, Dants still did his duty. It was not until the work was completed that he called for lowering the flag, lowering the flag in the middle of the flagpole and lowering the company flag by half. Look, Danglars said that he had ordered the captain.
Well, as a matter of fact, he is, said the owner
Good. You’re the only one missing. Your gang signed off, Mr. Morse.
That’s not difficult. The owner said that he was young, but it seems to me that he is an experienced sailor.
Danglars’ eyebrows crossed a dark cloud.
I’m sorry, Mr. Morrel, but Dantè s came over and said that the ship had stopped now. I was at your command. Was that you calling me just now?
