was born to an unknown person, was found in New York State and maybe was even born in New York. The name was given in honor of a passerby who found the baby and sent him to the doors of the orphanage, so he named him got the name "Dick Sand". He grew up in an orphanage, was taciturn, modest, aloof, but brave and proud. He loves geography and history, understands history well and dreams of becoming a strong captain.

loves Mrs. Weldon very much, as she is like a mother to him, the boy treats Mrs. Weldon like a mother and takes care of her son Jack, considering him almost his brother, although Dick Sand understood that he no family or parents, he wanted to earn his mother's affection, although he would never admit it.

On February 2, 1873, the schooner-brig Pilgrim was in latitude 43°57' south, longitude 165°19' west of Greenwich. This vessel, of four hundred tons, was fitted out at San Francisco for whaling in the South Seas.

The Pilgrim was owned by a wealthy Californian shipowner, James Weldon, and was commanded for many years by Captain Goole.

James Weldon annually sent a whole flotilla of ships to the northern seas, beyond the Bering Strait, as well as to the seas of the Southern Hemisphere, to Tasmania and Cape Horn. The Pilgrim was considered one of the best ships in the flotilla. It had an excellent speed. Its excellent equipment allowed it to reach the very edge of the solid ice of the Southern Hemisphere with a small crew.

Captain Gul knew how to maneuver, as they say, good-natured people like him, seem to be universal relatives. Cousin Benedict never knew what to do with his long arms and legs; it would be difficult to find a person more helpless and dependent, especially in those cases when he had to resolve ordinary, everyday issues.

It cannot be said that he was a burden to those around him, but he somehow managed to embarrass everyone and felt embarrassed by his own clumsiness. However, he was unpretentious, docile, undemanding, insensitive to heat and cold, and could go for days without eating or drinking if they forgot to feed and water him. It seemed that Cousin Benedict belonged not so much to the animal as to the vegetable. extermination. True whales began to die out, and hunters had to hunt minke whales,[1] hunting which presents considerable danger.

Captain Gul was forced to do the same, but he expected to go on his next voyage to higher latitudes - if necessary, all the way to the lands of Clara and Adelie, discovered, as has been firmly established, by the Frenchman Dumont d'Urville, no matter how much the American Wilkes disputed this.

The Pilgrim was unlucky this year. In early January, at the height of summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
