Pleasure Reading: “The Sea Lions” by James Fenimore Cooper. The summary #5, the last one (p.238-314 up to the end).

On the boat of “The Sea Lion” from Goln Gol Roosevelt Gardner has found no fire at all. The crew has lack of fire-woods. Each member of the team is sleeping under a lot of clothes, saving themselves from the cold weather. Having searched all sleeping bags Roosvelt Gardner comes to know that there are only five people from the whole crew who stay alive after the extremely cold winter. Among them is captain Daggett who has been animated by Roosvelt’s cook with the help of hot coffee.

Having talked, both captains decide to transfer all provision and procurement from sea lions into the ship from Oyster Pond and be ready to swan off from the north. It is not an easy way to come to the open ocean. On the one hand the ship has been damaged and though it is reconstructed by the sailors it can’t maneuver among the ice. But on the other hand the chink in the ice plain is really small that the ship hardly finds room.

Fortunately all our friends manage to come home where Roosvelt Gardner faces the death of the owner of the ship - the deacon Pratt. Gardner has told him that the amount of profit is about 20, 000 dollars that they have stopped in West India and find nothing in the trunk of purest. Having heard such bad for him news, Pratt goes out into another word where he will be so pounds-shillings-and-pence and avaricious for money as he used to be on the earth. According to his last will Mary may get married Roosvelt and they both have an access to his money. This news knocks other relatives of the father-of-church, who are also the same as their dead brother.
