Read the text and do the tasks (l) what is creativity? (2) What is a creative person? (3) And this is a matter of human destiny. (4) The most common answer: creativity is the birth of a wonderful novelty, the emergence of new great artistic and material values \u200b\u200bthat adorn the world. (5) This is exactly the answer of many philosophers, and most of the "ordinary" people, non-philosophers, who think about their own lives, about what they can give to the world. (6) Meanwhile, there is a profound error in this answer. (7) But it will become clear if we imagine a three-billion-strong humanity divided into two unequal parts. (8) A small one - chosen people, gifted with a divine spark, possessing bright talents that really adorn the world, delight us with books, symphonies, and scientific discoveries. (9) And for the most part, consisting of “ordinary”, “ordinary” people, who, as it were, are not given the opportunity to give birth to that very wonderful novelty that is associated in our minds with the very understanding of creativity. (lo) My thoughts about what creativity, a creative person, began a few years ago when I received a letter from a young woman, a draftsman. (1l)Here it is. “(12) These words excite me: creativity, a creative person, the joy of creativity. (13) I often think: to whom do they refer? (14) Well, of course, first of all to poets, composers, scientists, that is, to talented people. (15) But what if I, mediocre, the most ordinary, can only enjoy literature and art, but I myself can’t do anything? (16) But after all, I often experience great joy. (17) And not only from books or events. (18) Here I am sitting in the drawing room, I will raise my head, I will see reddening maples outside the window - and as if I received a gift. (19) Then I diligently draw the foundation, and the joy gradually subsides. (20) 0one day I thought: well, at least whatman paper from white turns blue or orange at the moment when I am happy, well, at least something in the world has changed. (21) Naive writing? (22) Of course. (23) He can be called naive. (24) Because with the half-childish courage of ignorance it invades one of the most complex "philosophical worlds": man - creativity - life. (25) But the same letter can also be called wise, because that broad understanding of creativity, its various areas, which, in my opinion, is especially relevant today, begins to pulsate in it. (26) The words "creative personality" are essentially a tautology. (27) If a person is certainly creative! (28) Creativity is possible in the most modest, most everyday form. (29) It can be a word, it can be a smile that brings joy to someone. (30) I think that the housewife, who gave the house some kind of charming way of life, is also a creator. (31) And the bus driver, who, seeing that there are a lot of old people in the car, drives it especially carefully, is the creator. (32) And the teacher who enters the class with such a deep readiness- 85

It is worth to convey the best treasures of the soul to children, that they feel it as if dissolved in the air - the creator, no doubt! (33) Talentless people - without a gift - do not exist. - (34) Doesn't happen?! - angrily exclaimed one sharp-minded sociologist, to whom I presented these considerations. - (35) Well, if we proceed from the fact that every person is a person, your conclusion, despite the well-known beautiful soul, is logical. (36) But, I think, there are people in different centuries they were called differently, which cannot be called personalities. (37) Dante called them insignificant. (38) These are those who "Know neither the glory nor the shame of mortal deeds." (39) Not a person, because they renounced activity in cowardice. (40) They do not do evil, but they are not enough to do good. (41) Personality is born simultaneously with activity. (42) In the name of good. (43) Or, alas, in the name of evil. (44) There are individuals with a plus sign, there are individuals with a minus sign. (45) But where there is plus and minus, there is also a transition point - zero. (46) According to today's terminology - an inhabitant. - (4 7) It seems to me, - I objected to him, - that, despite the logical harmony of the scheme with plus, minus and zero, it, like any scheme, is inadequate to the diversity of life and the complexity of a person. (48) Who can guarantee that in new circumstances, in a different situation, the “insignificant” will not find the very plus or minus that was just discussed? (49) After all, a person is not an unchanged, once and for all firmly established value (plus two, zero or minus three), he changes depending on the environment, circumstances, living conditions. (50) And it is not so often that he remains zero until the end of his life, even if at some of its moments it acts as zero. (51) And so that zero becomes not a minus, but a plus, it is better to see a personality in it. (52) And this does not at all mean a beautiful-hearted attitude to life, does not entail a denial of its conflicts and contradictions. * Evgeny Mikhailovich, Rich (gg.) - (According to E.M. Bogat *) Soviet journalist, writer. 21. Which of the statements correspond to the content of the text? Specify the answer numbers. 1) Only poets, composers, scientists are related to creativity, only they can be called creators. 2) According to Dante, there are “insignificant” people - ordinary people who do not manifest themselves in either good or evil deeds. 3) Reasoning about a person is difficult to put into any scheme, since not a single scheme reflects the diversity of life and the complexity of a person. 4) A person changes depending on the environment, circumstances, living conditions. 5) There are concepts of "creative personality" and "non-creative personality".

Are we rising?

No, on the contrary, we go down!

Worse, Mr. Smith, we're falling!

Drop the ballast!

The last sack has been thrown away!

Did the ball rise?

I think I hear the lapping of waves.

The sea is no more than five hundred feet away.

Everything heavy is overboard!

These words were heard over the vast desert of the Pacific Ocean at about four o'clock in the afternoon on March 23, 1865.

They probably still remember the terrible north-east, which suddenly rose this year during the spring equinox. The barometer then dropped to seven hundred and ten millimeters. The hurricane, without abating, raged from 18 to 26 March. In America, in Europe, in Asia, between the thirty-fifth degree north latitude and the fortieth south latitude, he has caused incalculable troubles. Uprooted forests, ruined cities that overflowed the banks of the river, hundreds of ships thrown ashore, devastated fields, thousands of human victims - these are the consequences of this hurricane.

But disasters did not only affect land and sea: no less tragic events took place in the air. Caught up in the storm, the balloon raced through the clouds at ninety miles an hour. There were five passengers in his gondola.

Where did this balloon come from, which has become a helpless toy of an angry element?

Obviously, he took off before the start of the hurricane, but the first harbingers of it appeared on March 18; therefore, a ball traveling at a speed of at least two thousand miles a day must have come from very distant lands.

The aeronauts had no idea how far the balloon had flown since the ascent.

Carried away by the storm, the ball rushed over the earth, rotating around its axis, but the aeronauts did not feel either this rotation or the speed of flight. Their eyes could not penetrate the veil of fog that spread under the gondola of the balloon.

The clouds were so thick that it was difficult to tell day from night.

Neither a ray of light, nor the noise of the populated earth, nor the roar of the stormy waves of the ocean could break through to people while they were in the upper layers of the atmosphere. It was only as they descended that the roar of the ocean warned them of the impending danger.

Released on command "All overboard!" from the weight of equipment, provisions, weapons, the balloon again flew up, to a height of four and a half thousand feet. Knowing that the sea lay beneath them, the aeronauts did not hesitate to throw out even the most necessary items from the gondola to lighten the balloon.

The night passed in a commotion that would have been fatal to the less resilient. But now the day has come again. The hurricane seemed to subside. Clouds rose into the upper atmosphere. The wind from a hurricane became, as the sailors say, "very fresh", that is, the speed of movement of air flows has halved. By eleven o'clock the lower layers of the air were visibly cleared of clouds.

The hurricane appears to have exhausted itself with electrical discharges, as typhoons sometimes do in the Indian Ocean.

The ball began to descend again, slowly but steadily. From the leakage of gas, it shrank, and its shell from round became oval.

By noon the balloon was only two thousand feet above sea level. The passengers threw overboard everything that still survived in the gondola, down to the remnants of provisions and small items that were in their pockets. One of them, climbing onto the ring to which the rope net of the shell was attached, tried to tighten the ball's release valve tightly to reduce gas leakage.

But it was obvious that it would not be possible to keep the balloon in the air, that there was not enough gas.

The passengers were doomed to die...

Indeed, under their feet was only water. The boundless sea, rolling huge waves - that's all that was visible from the gondola of the balloon, from where the gaze covered a space of forty miles in radius. No land, no ship in mind!

It was necessary at all costs to suspend the descent. But, despite all the efforts of the passengers, the ball continued to descend, rushing at the same time with great speed from the northeast to the southwest.

What a terrible situation! Passengers no longer controlled the flight of the balloon. All their efforts were in vain. The shell was losing more and more gas, and there was no way to stop the fall of the ball.

At one o'clock in the afternoon the balloon was flying only six hundred feet above the ocean.

Throwing out of the gondola all the objects in it, the aeronauts delayed the fall for several hours. But now the catastrophe was inevitable, and if the earth did not appear before dark, people and the ball itself would disappear without a trace in the waves ...

The travelers were obviously strong people, not afraid to look death in the face. Not one word of complaint or fear escaped their lips. They were ready to fight until the last second and did everything in their power to delay the fall.

The gondola was an ordinary willow wicker basket; having sank into the water, she could not hold out for a minute on the surface.

At two o'clock in the afternoon the balloon was only four hundred feet above the ocean.

At that moment, a courageous voice was heard in the gondola, the voice of a man who does not know what fear is. He was answered by no less firm voices.

Is everything thrown out?

No! There was still money left: ten thousand francs in gold.

The heavy bag fell into the water.

Did the ball rise?

A little. But he won't be slow to fall again.

What else can be thrown away?

And the gondola? Gondola in the sea! Everyone grab the net!

Indeed, this was the only and last means to lighten the balloon. The ropes supporting the gondola were cut, and the ball jumped two thousand feet into the air.

Five passengers climbed onto the ring and clung to the mesh loops.

A balloon floating in the atmosphere is like an accurate scale: freed from any significant gravity, it makes a leap upwards.

This is what happened in this case.

But, having held out for several minutes in the upper layers of the atmosphere, the ball of the word began to descend. The gas escaped through a hole in the shell, and there was no way to stop its leakage.

The aeronauts did everything that was in human power. Now only chance could save them.

At four o'clock the ball was five hundred feet from the water.

There was a loud bark - it was the dog of engineer Smith, hanging next to his master in the loops of the net.

Top saw something! Smith exclaimed.

Almost immediately there was a cry:

Earth! Earth!

Carried away by a strong wind to the southwest, the ball has flown a considerable distance since dawn, measured in hundreds of miles. The contour of the mountainous land really appeared on the horizon. But it was still about thirty miles away, that is, at least an hour's flight, if the speed and direction of the wind did not change.

A whole hour! .. Will the ball last that long?

It was a terrible question. The aeronauts already clearly saw land on the horizon. They did not know whether it was a mainland or an island, whether the land was inhabited or not, hospitable or hostile. But this did not occupy them - just to get to it!

However, it soon became apparent that the balloon could no longer stay in the air. He flew over the very surface of the ocean. The crests of the waves had already licked several times the hanging ropes of the net, which, having become wet, increased the weight of the balloon. The ball was flying now, tilted to one side, like a bird with a broken wing.

In half an hour the land was at a distance of only one mile, but the ball, which had decreased in volume, shriveled, retained the miserable remnants of gas only in its upper part. The people hanging on its net became an unbearable burden for the balloon; soon, half submerged in the water, they came under the blows of the ferocious ramparts. The shell curved like a sail, and a fair wind, having filled it, rushed the ball forward like a ship.

Maybe at least this way he will get closer to the ground?

Hurricane 1865. - Shouts over the deep sea. - A balloon blown away by a storm. - Broken shell. - Around only the sea. - Five travelers. - What happened in the gondola. - Earth on the horizon. - Dramatic denouement

Are we going up?

What is there! Let's go down!

Worse, Mr Cyres! We're falling!

My God! Ballast overboard!

The last bag has been dropped!

As it is now? Are we going up?

What is this? Like the waves are crashing?

Below us is the sea!

Very close, five hundred feet.

Everything heavy overboard!.. Drop everything! Lord, save us!

These words were heard over the desert expanse of the Pacific Ocean at about four o'clock in the afternoon on March 23, 1865.

Probably everyone still remembers the terrible storm that broke out in 1865, at the time of the vernal equinox, when a hurricane swooped in from the northeast and the barometer dropped to seven hundred and ten millimeters. The hurricane raged without respite from March 18 to 26 and caused great devastation in America, Europe and Asia, covering a zone eighteen hundred miles wide, stretching obliquely towards the equator from the thirty-fifth parallel north to the fortieth parallel south. Destroyed cities, forests uprooted, coasts devastated by sea ramparts the size of mountains, ships washed up on the shore, numbering in the hundreds according to bureau reports Veritas, entire lands turned into deserts by the destructive power of tornadoes that crushed everything in their path, many thousands of people who died on land or were buried in the abyss of the sea - these were the consequences of this terrible hurricane. In destructive power it surpassed even the storms that brought terrible devastation in Havana and Guadeloupe on October 25, 1810 and July 26, 1825.

But in the March days of 1865, when such disasters were happening on land and at sea, a no less terrible drama was played out in the air, shaken by a storm.

The hurricane picked up the balloon, tossed it like a ball to the top of the tornado, and, whirling along with the column of air, rushed at a speed of ninety miles an hour; the ball was spinning like a top around its own axis, as if it had fallen into some kind of air maelstrom.

Beneath the lower hoop of the balloon's mesh, a wicker gondola swayed with five people, barely visible in the thick mist, mixed with mist, descending to the very surface of the ocean.

Where did this balloon come from, a pitiful toy of an inexorable storm? From what corner of the globe did he rush to heaven? Surely he could not set out during a hurricane. But the hurricane had been raging for five days already: its first signs made themselves felt on March 18th. There was every reason to suppose that this balloon had come from afar, for it must have flown no less than two thousand miles a day.

The travelers who were in the gondola were not able to establish whether they had made a long journey and where the balloon had landed - they did not have a single milestone for this. They probably experienced an extremely curious phenomenon: rushing on the wings of a fierce storm, they did not feel it. The ball was carried away farther and farther, and the passengers did not feel either its rotational movement or its frantic horizontal movement. Their eyes could see nothing through the clouds swirling under the gondola. Around them everything was covered with a veil of fog, so dense that they could not tell whether it was day or night. Not a single reflection of heavenly bodies, not the slightest echo of terrestrial noises, not even the slightest rumble of a roaring ocean reached them in the immense darkness while they flew at high altitude. And only when the ball rapidly rushed down, they learned that they were flying over raging waves, and realized what danger threatened them.

But as soon as all the cargo that was in the gondola was dropped - the supply of cartridges, weapons and provisions - the balloon rose again and flew at an altitude of four thousand five hundred feet. Hearing the sea splashing under the gondola, the travelers considered that there was less danger for them above, and without hesitation threw even the most necessary things overboard, for they tried in every possible way to save gas - this soul of their airship, which carried them over the abyss of the ocean.

The night passed in anxieties that would have been fatal for less courageous people. At last dawn broke, and as soon as the light broke, the hurricane seemed to subside. On March 24, signs of calm appeared from the very early morning. At dawn, the storm clouds hanging over the sea rose high. In a few hours, the funnel of the tornado expanded, and its column broke. The hurricane turned into a "very fresh wind", that is, the speed of moving layers of air was halved. Still, as the sailors say, “the wind on three reefs” was blowing, but the raging elements almost calmed down.

By eleven o'clock in the morning the sky had almost cleared of clouds, that special transparency appeared in the humid air, which you not only see, but also feel after a strong storm passes by. It seemed that the hurricane did not rush far to the west, but stopped by itself. Perhaps when the tornado column broke, the storm was resolved by electrical discharges, as sometimes happens with typhoons in the Indian Ocean.

But at the same hour, the passengers of the balloon again noticed that they were slowly but steadily descending. The shell of the balloon gradually shrank, stretched, and instead of a spherical balloon, it took an egg-shaped shape.

By noon he was already flying over the sea at an altitude of two thousand feet. The volume of the sphere was fifty thousand cubic feet; thanks to such dimensions, he could hold out in the air for so long, either rising up or swimming horizontally.

In order to lighten the weight of the gondola, the travelers had already thrown overboard the last objects that were somehow heavy, thrown away the small supply of food left behind, and even everything that lay in their pockets; then one of the passengers climbed onto the lower hoop, to which a rope net was attached to protect the shell of the balloon, and tried to tie the lower valve of the balloon more tightly.

It became clear that it was no longer possible to keep the ball in height - there was not enough gas for this.

So, death awaited everyone!

Below was not the mainland, not an island, but the expanse of the sea.

Nowhere was there even a piece of land, a strip of solid land, on which the anchor of a balloon could catch.

All around there was only the sea, still rolling with unfathomable fury. Wherever you look - everywhere there is only a boundless ocean; the unfortunate aeronauts, although they looked from a great height and could survey the space for forty miles around, did not see the coast. Before their eyes, only the watery desert stretched, mercilessly whipped by a hurricane, pitted by waves - they rushed like wild horses with a swept mane; the flashing crests of the ferocious waves seemed from above like a huge white net. There was no land in mind, not a single ship!

Stop, at all costs, stop the fall of the balloon, otherwise it will be swallowed up by the abyss! The people in the gondola made every effort to achieve this as soon as possible. But their efforts remained fruitless - the ball fell lower and lower, at the same time the wind carried it with extreme speed in the direction from the northeast to the southwest.

The travelers were in a terrible position. There was no doubt - they had lost all power over the balloon. All their attempts came to nothing. The shell of the balloon was shrinking more and more. The gas was coming out of her, and there was no way to keep it. The descent accelerated noticeably, and by one o'clock the gondola was only six hundred feet from the surface of the ocean. And there was less and less gas. He freely escaped through the gap that appeared in the shell of the ball.

No, on the contrary, we go down!

Did the ball rise?

I think I hear the lapping of waves.

The sea is no more than five hundred feet.

Everything heavy is overboard!

These words were heard over the vast desert of the Pacific Ocean at about four o'clock in the afternoon on March 23, 1865.

Where did this balloon come from, which has become a helpless toy of an angry element?

The aeronauts had no idea how far the balloon had flown since the ascent.

The clouds were so thick that it was difficult to tell day from night.

The hurricane appears to have exhausted itself with electrical discharges, as typhoons sometimes do in the Indian Ocean.

The ball began to descend again, slowly but steadily. From the leakage of gas, it shrank, and its shell from round became oval.

But it was obvious that it would not be possible to keep the balloon in the air, that there was not enough gas.

The passengers were doomed to die...

At one o'clock in the afternoon the balloon was flying only six hundred feet above the ocean.

The gondola was an ordinary willow wicker basket; having sank into the water, she could not hold out for a minute on the surface.

At two o'clock in the afternoon the balloon was only four hundred feet above the ocean.

At that moment, a courageous voice was heard in the gondola, the voice of a man who does not know what fear is. He was answered by no less firm voices.

Maybe at least this way he will get closer to the ground?

But two cable lengths from the shore, a cry of horror burst from several breasts at the same time. The ball, which seemed to have completely lost its lift, spurred on by the impact of the wave, suddenly made an unexpected jump. As if immediately relieved of some of his burden, he jerked up to a height of one thousand five hundred feet and there fell into the air current, which carried him almost parallel to the shore. Two minutes later he sank to the ground.

The travelers helped each other to free themselves from the loops of the net. Released from their weight, the ball was picked up by the wind and, like a wounded bird, having gathered the last of its strength, rushed up and disappeared into the clouds.

The gondola had five...

“Very close, five hundred feet.

- Everything heavy overboard! .. Drop everything! Lord, save us!

These words were heard over the desert expanse of the Pacific Ocean at about four o'clock in the afternoon on March 23, 1865.

But in the March days of 1865, when such disasters were happening on land and at sea, a no less terrible drama was played out in the air, shaken by a storm.

The hurricane picked up the balloon, tossed it like a ball to the top of the tornado, and, spinning along with a column of air, rushed at a speed of ninety miles. 1
That is, 46 meters per second, or 166 kilometers per hour (about forty-two leagues, counting 4 kilometers in one league). ( Note. author.)

At one o'clock; the ball was spinning like a top around its own axis, as if it had fallen into some kind of air maelstrom.

Beneath the lower hoop of the balloon's netting, a wicker gondola swayed, containing five people, barely visible in the thick mist, mixed with mist, descending to the very surface of the ocean.

The travelers who were in the gondola were not able to establish whether they had made a long journey and where the balloon had landed - they did not have a single milestone for this. They probably experienced an extremely curious phenomenon: rushing on the wings of a fierce storm, they did not feel it. The ball was carried away farther and farther, and the passengers did not feel either its rotational movement or its frantic horizontal movement. Their eyes could see nothing through the clouds swirling under the gondola. Everything around them was covered with a veil of fog, so dense that they could not tell whether it was day or night. Not a single reflection of heavenly bodies, not the slightest echo of terrestrial noises, not even the slightest rumble of a roaring ocean reached them in the immense darkness while they flew at high altitude. And only when the ball rapidly rushed down, they learned that they were flying over raging waves, and realized what danger threatened them.

But as soon as all the cargo that was in the gondola was dropped - the supply of cartridges, weapons and provisions - the balloon rose again and flew at an altitude of four thousand five hundred feet. Hearing the sea splashing under the gondola, the travelers considered that there was less danger for them above, and without hesitation they threw even the most necessary things overboard, for they tried in every possible way to save gas - this soul of their airship that carried them over the abyss of the ocean.

It became clear that it was no longer possible to keep the ball in height - there was not enough gas for this.

So, death awaited everyone!

Below was not the mainland, not an island, but the expanse of the sea.

Nowhere was there even a piece of land, a strip of solid land, on which the anchor of a balloon could catch.

All around there was only the sea, still rolling with unfathomable fury. Wherever you look, there is only the boundless ocean; the unfortunate aeronauts, although they looked from a great height and could survey the space for forty miles around, did not see the coast. Before their eyes, only the watery desert stretched, mercilessly whipped by a hurricane, pitted by waves; they rushed like wild horses with a scattered mane; the flashing crests of the ferocious waves seemed from above like a huge white net. There was no land in mind, not a single ship!

Stop, by all means stop the fall of the balloon, otherwise it will be swallowed up by the abyss! The people in the gondola made every effort to achieve this as soon as possible. But their efforts remained fruitless - the ball fell lower and lower, at the same time the wind carried it with extreme speed in the direction from the northeast to the southwest.

The travelers were in a terrible position. There was no doubt that they had lost all power over the balloon. All their attempts came to nothing. The shell of the balloon was shrinking more and more. The gas was coming out of her, and there was no way to keep it. The descent accelerated noticeably, and by one o'clock the gondola was only six hundred feet from the surface of the ocean. And there was less and less gas. He freely escaped through the gap that appeared in the shell of the ball.

Throwing out everything that was there from the gondola, the travelers managed to stay in the air for several extra hours. But this was only a postponement of the inevitable catastrophe: if the earth did not appear before nightfall, both the ball and the gondola would sink into the abyss of the ocean.

There was only one remedy left to try, and the travelers resorted to it, showing themselves to be energetic and courageous people who more than once had to look death in the eye. Not the slightest murmur escaped their lips. They decided to fight until the last minute and by all means try to slow down the fall of the ball. The gondola was a kind of wicker basket and, of course, could not swim: as soon as it fell into the water, it would immediately sink.

By two o'clock in the afternoon the balloon was already at a distance of four hundred feet from the surface of the ocean.

- All thrown out?

- No! There was gold left - ten thousand francs!

And immediately the heavy bag flew into the ocean.

- Did the ball rise?

- A little. Now it will fall again!

What else can be thrown away?

- Nothing!

- Nothing? And the gondola?

- Cling to the net. And the gondola into the water!

Indeed, this was the only and last means to lighten the ball. The ropes that tied the gondola to the hoop of the net were cut, and as soon as the gondola broke away, the balloon rose to a height of two thousand feet.

The five travelers had climbed over the hoop and were now holding onto the meshes of the net, clinging to the ropes. All five looked down to where the ocean roared.

It is known what extraordinary sensitivity any balloon has. Reduce at least a little its weight, and the ball will immediately rise up. A balloon floating in the air is similar in its sensitivity to mathematical exact scales. And it is quite understandable that if the ball gets rid of a rather heavy gondola, it will immediately fly up to a considerable height. That is what happened in this case.

But, having held out for a moment at the top, the balloon again began to descend. Gas leaked through a hole in the shell, and the damage could not be repaired.

The travelers did everything they could, and now no human power could save them. Hope was only for a miracle.

At four o'clock in the afternoon the balloon was only five hundred feet above the surface of the ocean.

Suddenly a loud barking was heard. The travelers took the dog with them, and now she was in the balloon net next to her master.

- Top saw something! one of the passengers exclaimed.

And immediately there was a loud cry:

- Earth! Earth!

The ball was still blowing southwest; since dawn, he had already flown hundreds of miles, and indeed a rather high coast appeared before the travelers.

But this land was thirty miles away. The balloon could reach it in at least an hour, and even then, provided that the wind did not change. In one hour! But what if all the remaining gas leaks before this time?

Terrible question! The unfortunate aeronauts clearly distinguished the land. They did not know whether it was an island or a mainland, they could hardly imagine in what part of the world they were brought by a storm. But even if instead of a hospitable land in front of them was an uninhabited island, it was necessary to get to it at any cost.

However, at four o'clock in the afternoon it became quite obvious that the balloon could no longer stay in the air. He flew, touching the surface of the water. The crests of huge shafts more than once licked the lower cells of the net, it became wet, heavy, and the balloon barely rose, like a bird with a broken wing.

Half an hour later, there was no more than a mile to the shore, but in the balloon the gas had almost completely dried up and was kept only in the upper part of the flabby, flattened shell, hanging down in large folds. Passengers who grabbed the net became an unbearable burden for the ball - soon it was half submerged in water, and furious waves began to whip it. The shell arched like a hump, and the wind, inflating it, rushed through the water like a sailing boat. It seemed that the balloon was about to reach land.

And indeed, he was already two cables from the shore, when suddenly a cry of horror broke out from four travelers. A formidable wave shot up, and the ball, as if already deprived of lift, suddenly flew up. As if he had rid himself of some part of his load, he rose to fifteen hundred feet, but then he fell into an air funnel, he was spun by the wind and carried no longer to the land, but almost parallel to it. But after about two minutes the wind changed and finally threw the ball onto the sandy shore, where it turned out to be inaccessible to the waves.

The travelers helped each other to get out of the mesh that had entangled them. The ball, freed from the aggravating burden, took off at the first gust of wind and, like a wounded bird, which for a moment came back to life, soared up and disappeared into the sky.

There were five travelers and a dog in the gondola of the balloon, but only four people were thrown ashore.

The one that was missing was apparently swept away by the wave, which lightened the load of the balloon, allowed it to rise for the last time and reach land a few moments later.

But as soon as the wrecked (it is quite possible to call them that) set foot on the ground, all four, not seeing the fifth satellite, exclaimed:

“Maybe he’s trying to swim… Let’s save him!” Let's save!

Chapter Two

episode of the American Civil War. - Engineer Cyrus Smith. — Gideon Spilett. - Negro Nab. Sailor Pencroft. - Young Herbert. - Unexpected offer. - Appointment at ten o'clock in the evening. - Flying into a storm

The people who were washed up on some distant shore by the hurricane were not professional aeronauts or amateur air travelers. They were held in confinement as prisoners of war, and their natural courage prompted them to escape from captivity under very unusual circumstances! A hundred times they could die! A hundred times a balloon with a burst shell could throw them into the abyss. But the sky prepared for them an amazing fate. On March 20, the travelers were already seven thousand miles from Richmond, which was besieged by the troops of General Ulysses Grant; they had fled this capital of Virginia, the main stronghold of the separatists during the days of the terrible civil war. Their air journey lasted five days.

These are the curious circumstances under which the flight of the captives took place, ending in the catastrophe, which we have already told the readers about.

In the month of February, 1865, during one of the assaults by which General Grant tried in vain to take possession of Richmond, several officers of the federal army fell into the hands of the enemy and were interned in that city. One of the more notable captives was at Grant's army headquarters, and his name was Cyrus Smith.

Cyrus Smith, a native of Massachusetts, an engineer by profession, was a first-class scientist; during the war, the United States government entrusted him with the management of railroads of great strategic importance.

Thin, bony, lean, he could be considered a real North American in appearance, and although he was no more than forty-five years old, gray shone in his short-cropped hair; silver threads would show in the beard, but Cyrus Smith did not wear a beard, leaving only a thick mustache.

His face was striking in its severe beauty and chased profile - such faces seemed to be created to be depicted on medals; his eyes burned with a fire of energy, his stern lips rarely smiled - in a word, Cyrus Smith had the appearance of a scientist, endowed with the spirit of a warrior. He was one of those engineers who at the beginning of their career voluntarily wielded a hammer and a pick, assimilated to generals who began military service as privates. Therefore, it is not surprising that, with exceptional ingenuity and sharpness of mind, he also had very dexterous, skillful hands. The developed muscles indicated his great strength. He was a man of action and at the same time a thinker; he acted without any effort on himself, driven by indomitable vital energy, distinguished by rare perseverance and never feared possible failures. He combined great knowledge with a practical mindset and, as the soldiers say, with a great mind; besides, he developed a remarkable self-control and under no circumstances lost his head, in short, he had three traits inherent in a strong person: physical and mental energy, purposefulness and a powerful will. He could have chosen as his motto the words spoken in the 17th century by William of Orange:

“In undertaking anything, I do not need hopes; persisting in my actions, I do not need success.

However, Cyrus Smith was the epitome of courage. He participated in all the battles of the civil war. Starting under Ulysses Grant in the Illinois Volunteers, he fought at Paducah, Belmont, Pittsburgh Landing, at the Siege of Corinth, at Port Gibson, at the Black River, at Chattanooga, near Wilderness, on the Potomac - and everywhere he fought valiantly, as a soldier quite worthy of General Grant, who, when asked about the losses, replied: "I do not count my dead." A hundred times Cyrus Smith could have been among those whom the formidable commander did not count, but, although he did not spare himself in these battles, he was lucky until the day when he was wounded near Richmond and was taken prisoner.

Along with Cyrus Smith, on the same day, another outstanding person fell into the hands of the southerners - none other than Gideon Spilett, a special correspondent for the New York Herald, seconded to the army of the northerners in order to follow the ups and downs of the war.

Gideon Spilett belonged to that wonderful breed of reporters, mostly English and American, who, like Stanley and his like, will not retreat from anything, if only to get accurate information about a topical event and report it as soon as possible to their newspaper. In the United States, major newspapers such as the New York Herald have become a real force, and their spokesmen, the "special correspondents", are to be reckoned with. Gideon Spilett was one of the first among these "special correspondents."

A very worthy, energetic, agile and decisive person, a journalist who traveled all over the world, a soldier and an artist, a seething mind, able to figure everything out, an enterprising and active nature, Spilett was not afraid of either work, or fatigue, or dangers when he wanted something some "learn" - first of all for himself, and then for his newspaper. He was a real hero of curiosity, a tireless seeker of new information, of everything unknown, unknown, impossible, incredible - one of those courageous observers who write newspaper notes to the whistle of bullets, compose a "chronicle" under flying cannonballs and consider any danger an exciting adventure.

He also participated in all the battles, was always at the forefront with a revolver in one hand, with a notebook in the other, and under a hail of buckshot the pencil did not tremble in his hand. Unlike those reporters who are especially eloquent, when they have nothing to say, he did not occupy the telegraph wires with endless dispatches, but each of his notes, short, precise, clear, always shed light on some important event. By the way, he was not devoid of humor. It was he who, after the battle at the Black River, wishing at all costs to keep his turn at the telegraph window and inform the newspaper about the outcome of the battle, telegraphed the first chapters of the Bible for two hours. Such a stunt cost the New York Herald $2,000, but the newspaper was the first to get the information.

Gideon Spilett was tall and not yet old - about forty years old, no more. He had reddish whiskers. Lively, quick eyes looked calmly and confidently. Such eyes are in people who are accustomed to instantly grasp all the details of the picture that opens up to their eyes. He was of strong build, and he had hardened himself by traveling under different latitudes, as one tempers a red-hot steel bar with cold water.

For ten years now, Gideon Spilett had been a regular correspondent for the New York Herald and enriched the newspaper with his notes and drawings: he was equally good at a writer's pen and a draughtsman's pencil. The minute he was captured, he described the course of the battle and made sketches. The notes in his notebook broke off at the following words: “The enemy is aiming at me and…” The shooter missed: Gideon Spilett, as always, came out of a heated battle without a single scratch.

Cyrus Smith and Gideon Spilett knew each other only by hearsay. Both were transferred to Richmond, the engineer quickly recovered from his wound and during his recovery met a journalist. They felt mutual respect and affection. Soon they were connected by a goal relentless in front of them. Both wanted only one thing: to flee, to return to Grant's army and fight again in its ranks for federal unity.

The two friends decided to take advantage of any favorable circumstances to escape, but although they lived in freedom in Richmond, the city was so tightly guarded that escape was to be considered impossible.

At that time, Cyres Smith managed to get his boundlessly devoted servant. This brave man, who saw the light on the farm of the engineer's parents, was a negro, the son of slaves and a slave himself, but Cyrus Smith, being an opponent of slavery by conviction and by the voice of his heart, gave the negro free. The slave, having become free, did not want to part with his master. He loved him dearly and was ready to die for him. He was thirty-one years old, he was a strong, agile, dexterous and quick-witted person, meek and calm, sometimes very naive, always smiling, helpful and kind. His name was Nebuchadnezzar, but he did not like this magnificent name and preferred the diminutive name familiar from childhood - Neb.

Learning that his master had been taken prisoner, Neb left Massachusetts without hesitation, reached Richmond, and with the help of all sorts of tricks, risking his life twenty times, entered the besieged city. It is impossible to convey in words the joy of Cyrus Smith, who saw his servant, and the happiness of Nab, who united with his beloved master.

So Nabu managed to get into Richmond, but it was much more difficult to get out of there, since the prisoners of war soldiers of the federal army were under the strictest surveillance. For an attempt to escape, which gave even the slightest hope of its successful outcome, one had to wait for exceptional circumstances, but such circumstances never arose, and it was not so easy to create them.

Meanwhile, Grant continued to wage decisive military action! In a hot battle with the southerners near Petersberg, he won. But the combined forces of his army and Butler's troops could not yet achieve anything in the siege of Richmond, and nothing foreshadowed the imminent release of prisoners of war. The monotonous life of a prisoner did not give the reporter any food for notes, and he was no longer able to bear it. The thought never left him of running away from Richmond, running at any cost. Several times he tried to do this and could not: the obstacles were insurmountable.

The siege of the city went on as usual, and if the prisoners of war were eager to escape from it to return to Grant's army, some of the besieged were very eager to leave Richmond to get to the Separatist army; among these warriors was Jonathan Forster - an avid supporter of the southerners. Indeed, if the prisoners of war of the federal army did not have the opportunity to leave the city, the separatists could not do this either, since the army of the northerners surrounded it from all sides. The governor of Richmond had long lost contact with General Lee, and it was extremely important to inform him of the situation in the city and ask him to quickly send an army to help the besieged. And so Jonathan Forster got the idea to fly out of Richmond in a balloon gondola, cross the lines of the besieging troops in this way and get to the Separatist camp.

The governor allowed such an attempt. A balloon was made and placed at the disposal of Jonathan Forster, who intended to make his air journey with five companions. The aeronauts were equipped with weapons in case they, upon landing, ran into the enemy and were forced to defend themselves. They also received a supply of provisions in case of a long stay in the air.

The flight was scheduled for March 18th. It was supposed to take place at night, with a fresh northwest wind: the travelers expected to fly to General Lee's headquarters in a few hours.

But the northwest wind was different than expected. On the eighteenth of March, it was already clear from the morning that a storm was approaching. And soon such a hurricane arose that Forster's departure had to be postponed, because it was dangerous to give the balloon and five travelers to the will of the raging elements.

The gas-filled balloon was in the main square of Richmond, ready to take off at the first lull, and the whole city waited for this lull with growing impatience, and meanwhile the weather did not improve.

On the eighteenth and nineteenth of March the storm raged without respite. With great difficulty they protected from it the balloon tied with ropes, which was nailed to the ground by gusts of a squall.

The night from the nineteenth to the twentieth of March passed, and in the morning the storm broke even more strongly. It was impossible to fly.

On this day, a stranger approached the engineer Cyres on the street. He was a sailor of about thirty-five or forty, bearing the name of Pencroft, tall, strong and very sunburnt, with lively, rapidly blinking eyes and a good-natured face. He was a native of North America, sailed all the seas, went through all sorts of troubles, experienced many extraordinary adventures, which no other land dweller would ever dream of. Needless to say, he was an enterprising man, a daredevil who was not afraid of anything and was not surprised by anything. Early in 1865, Pencroff came to Richmond from New Jersey on business with fifteen-year-old Herbert Brown, his captain's orphaned son; Pencroff loved this young man like his own son. Before the beginning of the siege, he did not manage to leave the city, and, to his great chagrin, he found himself locked up in Richmond. Now he, too, had only one desire: to run away, taking advantage of any opportunity. Pencroft had heard a lot about the engineer Cyrus Smith, he knew that this determined man was eager to break free. So on the third day of the storm, he boldly approached Smith and without preamble asked:

“Mr. Smith, aren’t you tired of this damn Richmond?”

The engineer looked straight at the stranger who spoke to him, and Pencroft added in an undertone:

"Mr. Smith, do you want to run?"

- When? - the engineer immediately responded, and it can be said with certainty that this answer escaped his tongue involuntarily, for he did not even have time to consider the unknown person who turned to him with such a proposal.

However, having peered with a penetrating glance into the open face of the sailor, he no longer doubted that he saw before him an honest man.

- Who are you? he asked curtly.

Pencroft spoke briefly about himself.

- Wonderful! Smith said. “And how do you propose to escape?”

- Yes, here's a balloon hanging around uselessly, as if on purpose, a loafer, waiting for us!

Pencroff did not need to go into details. The engineer understood him perfectly. He grabbed the sailor by the arm and quickly led him to him.

Pencroff told him his plan. Everything is very simple. Of course, you risk your life with this, but what can you do! The hurricane, of course, is furious, raging with all its might, but after all, such a skillful and courageous engineer as Cyrus Smith will perfectly be able to cope with an airship. If he, Pencroft, knew how to handle this balloon, he would not hesitate to fly out on it, of course, together with Herbert. You never know the sailor Pencroff has seen storms in his lifetime! You won't surprise him with such a hurricane!

Cyrus Smith listened in silence, but his eyes were shining. Here it is - an auspicious occasion. Is it possible to miss it. The plan is very risky, but that's all - it is quite feasible. Despite the security, at night you can get to the balloon, climb into the gondola, then cut the ropes holding the balloon! It’s clear that it’s easy to lay down your head here, but it’s possible that everything will go well, but without this storm ... Yes, without this storm, the balloon would have flown out long ago and the long-awaited opportunity never presented itself!

- I'm not alone! He briefly concluded his reflections aloud.

How many people would you like to take with you? the sailor asked.

- Two - my friend Spilet and the servant Nab.

“So there are three of you,” said Pencroff, “and I am with Herbert. The total is five. And it was assumed that six people would fly on the ball ...

- Great. We will fly! Cyrus Smith exclaimed.

He said “we”, giving an obligation also for the journalist - indeed, Gideon Spilett was not a timid ten, but when he learned about the idea that had arisen, he approved it unconditionally. He was only surprised that such a simple thought had not occurred to him himself. As for Nab, he would follow his master wherever he wanted to go.

“So until evening,” said Pencroff. “All five of us will be hanging around the bush, as if out of curiosity.

"Until tonight," said Cyrus Smith, "we'll meet at ten o'clock." If only this storm had not subsided before our departure!

Pencroft said goodbye to the engineer and returned to his apartment, where young Herbert Brown remained. The brave boy knew about the plans of the sailor and anxiously awaited the results of his conversation with the engineer. As readers can see, five daredevils met here, since they decided to rush towards the inexorable hurricane!

Yes, the storm did not subside, and neither Jonathan Forster nor his companions even approached the fragile gondola! The weather was terrible all day. The engineer was afraid of only one thing: as if the shell of the balloon, which was bent to the ground by the wind, would not be torn into a thousand pieces. For hours, Smith wandered around the almost deserted square, watching the balloon. Pencroff did the same; thrusting his hands into his pockets, he paced the square, yawning from time to time, as if he had wandered in here from nothing to do and did not know how to pass the time; but in reality he was also full of fear that the shell of the balloon would burst or, what’s good, the ropes would burst and the balloon would rush off into the sky.

Evening came. An impenetrable darkness descended. A thick mist, like clouds, crept over the ground. It started raining mixed with snow. It got cold right away. Some kind of damp haze hung over Richmond. It seemed that a violent storm had established a truce between the besiegers and the besieged, and the guns fell silent, fearful of the terrible roar of the hurricane. The streets of the city were deserted. Not a soul in the square, in the middle of which the balloon was beating in the wind - probably, they did not consider it necessary to protect it in such severe bad weather. So, everything favored the escape of the captives, but how to decide on a terrible journey, how to give yourself up to the will of the violent elements?

- Poor weather! muttered Pencroff, and, seizing his hat, he tugged it on with a blow of his fist. - Well, nothing! We'll manage somehow!

At half-past nine, Cyrus Smith and his companions crept from different directions into the square, where there was impenetrable darkness, for the wind had extinguished all the gas lamps. Even the outlines of a huge balloon, nailed to the ground by the wind, were not visible. In addition to the bags of ballast tied to the safety net, the gondola of the ball was still held by a strong rope, it was passed through an iron ring embedded in the pavement, and both ends of it were tied to a wicker gondola.
