III. Read the text and translate it in writing:

The original “Lady Washington” was a 90-ton merchant sloop. She sailed around Cape Horn and participated in the fur and pelt trade with the coastal Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest and in tea and porcelain across the Pacific in China.

Named in honor of Martha Washington , she was captained originally by Robert Gray, and later by John Kendrick , former captain of her larger sailing partner , the “Columbia Rediviva” ( Kendrick insisted he and Gray switch vessels mid- journey). Under the command of Kendrick, she was refitted as a brig ( she was formerly a sloop) .

She became the first American vessel to reach the island of Japan in an unsuccessful attempt to move some unsold pelts . The Lady remained in the Pacific trade and eventually foundered in the Philippines in 1798.

A ship replica of the “Lady Washington” was built in Aberdeen , Washington , USA in time for the 1989 Washington State Centennial celebrations. Aberdeen is located on Grays Harbor , an inlet of the Pacific Ocean named for Robert Gray, the man who discovered the harbor as Master of the “Columbia”.The new “Lady Washington” has already made plenty of her own history. Operated by a professional and volunteer crew under the auspices of the Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority,she sails up and down the Pacific coast reaching out to sailors and lubbers of all ages through the romance of the sea in the hope they take a little of her history back with them.

Today she sails regularly in pair with the “ Hawaiian Chieftain “ , educating students in the history of merchant trading , life of common sailors , and responsibilities of the ship's officers.

Captain Frederick Marryat ( July 10, 1792 - August 9, 1848) was an English novelist contemporary and acquaintance of Charles Dickens , noted today as an early pioneer of the sea story. He is now known particularly for the semi-autobiographical novel “ Mr Midshipman Easy” and his children's novel “ The Children of the New Forest” .

Marryat was born in London , the son of Joseph Marryat , a “ merchant prince” and member of Parliament. After trying to run away to sea several times , he was permitted to enter the Royal Navy in 1806 , as a midshipman on board HMS “ Imperieuse” , a frigate commanded by Lord Cochrane ( who would later serve as inspiration for both Marryat and other authors).

After recuperating, Marryat returned to the Mediterranean in HMS “ Centaur” , 74, and again saved a shipmate by leaping into the sea after him . He than sailed a passenger to Bermuda in HMS “Atlas” , 64 guns, and from thence to Halifax , Nova Scotia on the schooner “Chubb” , to join the Frigate HMS “ Aeolus” of 32 guns ( April 27, 1811)

A few months later , Marryat again earned distinction by leading the effort to cut away the “ Aeolus” mainyard to save the ship during a storm, and continuing a pattern , he also saved one of the men from the sea . Shortly thereafter , he moved to the frigate HMS “Spartan” , participaiting in the capture of a number or American ships ( the War of 1812 having begut by then) , and on December 26, 1812 was promoted to lieutenant.

As lieutenant , Marryat served in the sloop “ Espiegle” and the “ Newcastle” , and was promoted to commander June 13, 1815 , just in time for peace to break out. He then pursued scientific studies, invented a lifeboat ( thus earning both gold medal from the Royal Humane Society and the nickname “Lifeboat”) , and in 1819 married Catherine Shairp, with whom he had four sons and seven daughters.

In 1820 he commanded the sloop “ Beaver” and temporarily commanded “ Rosario” for the purpose of bringing back to England the despatches announcing the death of Napoleon's body on his deathbed , which was later published as a lithograph. ( Marryat's artistic skills were modest , but his sketches of shipboard life above and bellow deck have considerable charm that overcomes their crudities.)

In 1823 he was appointed to HMS “Larne” , 20, and took part in an expedition against Burma in 1824 . During this expedition , which resulted in large losses due to disease, he was promoted to command HMS “ Tees” , 28, and this gave him his post captain rank. He was back in England in around the Madeira and Canary Islands. This was an uninspiring exercise , and between that and the recent publication of his first novel, “ The Naval Officer” , he decided to resign his commission in November 1830 and take up writing full time.

He was named a Fellow of the Royal Society in recognition of his invention and other achievements . In 1843 he moved to a small farm at Langham Manor in Norfolk , where he died in 1848 . His daughter Florence Marryat later became well-known as a writer actress.
