"I'm not the helmsman?" I shouted. "Just you?" A tall and burly mysterious man asked.He touched his eyes lightly with his hands, as if chasing away a dream. Just now, in the darkness of night, I was steering the helm by a dim overhead light, when this man came up and tried to push me aside.As I would not back down, he put his foot on my chest and slowly pushed me down, turning the steering wheel completely over as I fell, since my hand had not let go of the handle.But the man grabbed the wheel and turned back, but I was knocked away.But I understood right away, and ran quickly to the hatch facing the forecastle and shouted: "Crew!

guys!Come quickly!A stranger has chased me from the wheel! " They came slowly.Out of the port of the gangway, tall and swaying, tired and sleepy figures appeared. "Am I the helmsman?" I asked. They nodded, but their eyes were fixed on the stranger.They stood in a semicircle around him. He said in a commanding tone: "Don't bother me!" As soon as the words fell, they hugged each other, nodded to me, and went down the gangway again.What kind of people is this?Are they thinking too?Or they just dragged their shoes and walked around the world aimlessly.
