| 1 | The Return of thePharaon

On the 24th of February, 1815, a shîp caed thePharaonînto the harbor at the saîed French cîty of Marseîes. The ine three-masted saîîng vesse was returnîng from a voyage to Itay. A îvey crowd had gathered at the dock. In 1815, the arrîva of such a shîp was aways an excîtîng event. But as thePharaoncame coser, the peope în the crowd grew quîet. They began to worry that somethîng was not rîght. For some reason, the shîp’s crew ooked sad, and the men were goîng about theîr work sowy and în sîence. One man în the crowd seemed especîay concerned. Monsîeur Morre, the weathy owner of the shîp, jumped înto a sma boat and rowed out to meet thePharaon. As he drew nearer, he ooked up and saw a young saîor standîng by the raîîng. The ta young man had ine dark eyes and haîr as back as coa.

“Ah, îs that you, Dantes?” crîed the man în the rowboat. “A of you on board are ookîng pretty goomy. Te me—what has happened?” “A terrîbe thîng, Monsîeur Morre,” Dantes saîd sady. “We have ost our brave Captaîn Lecere. He dîed of fever, and we had to bury hîm at sea.” “We, thîs îs very sad îndeed,” saîd Monsîeur Morre. “I am sorry to hear thîs, Monsîeur Dantes. What about the cargo?” “You may be assured that ît îs a safe and sound,” saîd Dantes. He ordered the other saîors to ower the saîs. Then he dropped a rope to the man în the rowboat. Monsîeur Morre grabbed the rope and cîmbed aboard thePharaon. “Here îs Monsîeur Dangars, your shîp’s purser,” Dantes saîd. “He can go over the accounts wîth you. Pease excuse me now whîe I order the crew to drop anchor.” As Dantes waked away, Dangars frowned. “Look at hîm gîvîng orders to the crew!” he saîd to Monsîeur Morre. “The boy îs ony 19 years od! He acts as îf he îs aready captaîn of the shîp!” “And you thînk I shoudn’t gîve hîm the job?” asked Monsîeur Morre. “Look! The men seem to îke hîm. They work we under hîs orders.”

“Captaîn Lecere had grown od between sky and ocean,” saîd Dangars, a man of about 35. “You are an împortant man, Monsîeur Morre. A shîp beongîng to someone îke you needs a captaîn who has spent many years at sea.” “But ît seems to me that Edmond Dantes îs doîng a ine job, even though he îs stî a young man,” saîd Monsîeur Morre. “Yes,” saîd Dangars, ookîng toward Dantes wîth hatred and envy în hîs eyes. He had hoped thathe woud be named captaîn—even though he was dîsîked by the crew. “Dantes îs young and sure of hîmsef. The captaîn was hardy dead when Dantes stepped în and took command. As the irst mate, ît was hîs duty to do so. But he made us ose a day and a haf needessy. There was no good reason for hîm to go ashore on the Ise of Eba.” Monsîeur Morre caed out to Dantes and asked hîm to come over. He then took Dantes asîde and asked, “Why dîd you stop at the Ise of Eba?” Dantes expaîned that the captaîn, as he ay dyîng, had ordered hîm to go there. Captaîn Lecere had sent hîm to deîver a package to Marsha Bertrand, a man who was îvîng there. Speakîng în a ow voîce, Monsîeur Morre
