Treasure - seeking in Titanic

　　TREASURES of Titanic as well as the captain's logbook may reappear to the public. RMS Titanic Company declared recently that it was ready to search the interior part of the wreckage for the first time.

　　Since 1985 when the wreckage of the luxury boat was found, the RMS has made five attempts to search it. But all the actions were confined (被限制) to the exterior (＝outer part ) of the cabin (客艙). This time, divers will use a controlled diving machine and enter the boat to make a careful search.

　　The boat is gradually eroded. This will be the last chance to seek all the treasures (worth about $ 300 million).

　　Michel Navratil, the last male survivor of the Titanic disaster, has died at the age of 92．

　　Navratil, who became a noted philosopher (哲學家), was nearly four in 1912 when his father left his mother and took him aboard the Titanic.

　　After the vessel struck the iceberg, his father put the boy into a life boat and went down with the ship.

　　Navratil said that the Titanic disaster had heavily influenced his career as a philosopher. He recalled the last words of his father as he kissed goodbye to the boy; tell your mother that I loved her dearly and still do.

　　After the death of M. Navratil, two British and two American women, all in their nineties, are the last survivors of the disaster.

Hans Christian Andersen was a poor boy who lived in Denmark. His father, a shoemaker, had died, and his mother had married again.

Andersen’s father liked to read better than to make shoes. In the evenings, he had read aloud from The Arabian Nights. His wife understood very little of the book, but the boy, pretending to sleep, understood every word.

By day Hans Christian Anderson went to a house where old women worked as weavers. There he listened to the tales that the women told. In those days, there were almost as many tales in Denmark as there were people to tell them.

Among the tales told in the town of Odense, where Andersen was born in 1805, was one about a fairy who brought death to those who danced with her. To this tale, Hans Christian later added a story from his own life.

Once, when his father was still alive, a young lady ordered a pair of red shoes. When she refused to pay for them, unhappiness filled the poor shoemaker’s house. From that small tragedy and the story of the dancing fairy, the shoemaker’s son years later wrote the story that millions of people now know as The Red Shoes.

As a little girl, Hans Christian’s mother was sent out on the streets to beg. She did not want to beg, so she hid under one of the city bridges. She warmed her cold feet in her hands, for she had no shoes. She was afraid to go home. Years later, her son, in his pity for her and his anger at the world, wrote the angry story She’s No Good and the famous tale The Little Match Girl.

Through his genius, he changed every early experience, even his father’s death, into a fairy tale. One cold day his father showed him a white, woman-like figure among the frost patterns. “That is the snow queen,” said the shoemaker. “Soon she will be coming for me.” A few months later he died. And years later, Andersen turned that sad experience into a fairy tale, The Snow Queen.
