How Failure Became Success
On 8th August,1914,27 men who had replied to an advertisement in The Times boarded a ship leaving for the Antarctic.The name of the ship was the Endurance and the captain was an Irishman called Ernest Shackleton.
The aim of the journey was to cross the frozen continent via the South Pole – journey of 1,800 miles.Shackleton thought the journey would last six months.
But when land came into sight,the Endurance became trapped in the ice and began to break up.Shackleton and his men watched the Endurance sink into the icy sea.They then headed north,pulling three lifeboats behind them.
After six days,bad weather forced them to give up and the men set up camp on a sheet of ice which began slowly moving across the Antarctic Circle.
They survived on the ice for five months.Then,on 16th April,1915,Shackleton saw land.It was Elephant Island – large rock with nothing growing on it,but much better than a floating piece of ice.When they reached the island,Shackleton came up with an idea – it was a risk but he would have to take it.He and five men would take one of the lifeboats,and sail 800 miles to South Georgia,where there was a permanent camp.They could then return to rescue the rest of the men.
It took Shackleton 17 days to rach South Georgia.Unfortunately he landed on the wrong side of the island,and had to walk 36 hours over mountains to reach the camp.The whale hunters all the camp couldn?t believe their eyes when they saw the six men walking down from the mountains.
Shackleton kept his promise.More than three months later,he returned to Elephant Island to rescue the crew he had been forced to abandon.He had failed to reach the pole – but he had saved the lives of all his men
失敗是如何成功
1914年8月8日,響應(yīng)泰晤士報(bào)上一則廣告的27個(gè)人登上一艘輪船向南極進(jìn)發(fā)。船的名字是耐力號(hào)，船長(zhǎng)是一個(gè)名為歐內(nèi)斯特沙克爾頓的愛爾蘭人。
旅行的目的.是通過南極——穿越冰凍大陸旅行1800英里。沙克爾頓認(rèn)為,旅行將持續(xù)六個(gè)月。
但當(dāng)土地已近在眼前,耐力號(hào)就被困在冰中,開始分解。沙克爾頓和他的船員看著耐力號(hào)沉入冰冷的海中。然后他們后面拖著三只救生艇，一路向北。
六天后,惡劣的天氣迫使他們放棄,男人在一片冰上扎營(yíng)，開始緩緩地向南極圈移動(dòng)。
他們?cè)诒仙盍?個(gè)月。1915年4月16日,沙克爾頓看見了陸地。它是大象島——一塊大的石頭都沒有,但是還好有一塊漂浮的冰。當(dāng)他們到達(dá)島上,沙克爾頓想出了一個(gè)主意——這是一個(gè)風(fēng)險(xiǎn),但他不得不接受。他和五個(gè)人將乘坐其中一只救生艇,航行800英里到達(dá)南喬治亞島,那里有一個(gè)他們的長(zhǎng)期營(yíng)地。然后他們可以回來(lái)救援其他人。
沙克爾頓花了17天抵達(dá)南喬治亞。不幸的是他錯(cuò)誤的著陸在島的另一邊,必須徒步36個(gè)小時(shí)登上山脈到達(dá)營(yíng)地。當(dāng)營(yíng)地里的捕鯨者看到他們6個(gè)人從山上下來(lái)，都不敢相信他們的眼睛。
沙克爾頓遵守了他的諾言。三個(gè)多月后,他回到大象島上營(yíng)救船員,他被迫放棄。他沒能到達(dá)北極——但他救了所有人的性命
