with long blonde hair. He knew most of 11511g613l the other members of theAndrea Gail's

crew. He had fished all his life and he knew a lot about fishing boats. When he saw a boat, heknew at once if it was safe or not.

Adam had driven to Gloucester that morning with his father-in-law. He'd walked aroundthe deck of theAndrea Gailfor a long time, not saying very much. Then finally he had got off

the boat and gone back to his father-in-law's car.

"I'm not going out on that boat," he'd said. "I'm not going to take this job."

"What are you saying?" asked his father-in-law in surprise. "You really need this job,Adam. You haven't worked in three months and you need the money. What's the problem? The

Andrea Gailis a very good boat - it's one of the best swordfishing boats on the coast."

"I know that," replied Adam. But I've got a strange feeling about theAndrea Gail. When

I was walking around her I felt a cold wind on my skin. I think that none of her crew is going to

come back from this trip."

Adam's father-in-law was very shocked.

"Are you going to tell them what you think?" he asked.

Adam thought for a while.

"No, he said at last. "I can't do that. I can't tell them that they are going to die.. And

maybe I'm wrong. Each man has to make up his own mind about a fishing trip.
