10.Just a few hours ago,the Italian ship Andrea Doria was sailing through thick fog toward the city of New York.Captain Piero Calamai kept watch.He knew that many other ships were nearby.He should have slowed down because of the fog but he decided not to.He wanted to arrive on time the next morning.
At about 11:00P.M.,another ship,the Stockholm,suddenly hit the Andrea Doria.It made a huge hole in the Italian ship.Some people were badly hurt.Others fell into the sea.But one girl was saved by the Stockholm.
Linda Morgan was fourteen.She lived in Spain with her mother and her little sister.She was going to visit her father in New York.She was excited about seeing her father.
Linda had loved the trip.She wanted to have dinner with the captain on the last night at sea.The captain did not sit at his table that night,though.He was busy guiding the ship through the fog.Linda did not get to talk to him.
When Linda went to bed,everything seemed fine.Her mother turned off the lights.Linda talked to her little sister.She thought about seeing her father the next morning.
What happened next was a terrible surprise.Linda woke up not knowing where she was.She was not in her bed.When she called to her family,no one answered.Both her knees were broken.
Linda had been saved by an amazing accident.When the Stockholm made a hole in the side of the Andrea Doria,it lifted Linda out of her bed.She landed on the deck (甲板) of the Stockholm instead of falling into the ocean.A sailor heard her cries and found her.
