Thus
we
sailed
for
fifty
years
,
neither
living
nor
dying
,
for
how
could
we
reach
the
land
?
With
mad
joy
we
ever
dashed
along
,
with
full
sails
,
before
the
storm
,
for
we
hoped
at
last
to
be
wrecked
upon
some
cliff
,
and
to
compose
our
weary
heads
to
rest
upon
the
bottom
of
the
sea
;
but
in
this
we
never
succeeded
.
Now
I
shall
die
!
Once
again
,
unknown
preserver
,
accept
my
thanks
,
and
if
treasures
can
reward
thee
,
then
take
my
ship
in
token
of
my
gratitude
.
"
With
these
words
the
Captain
let
his
head
drop
,
and
expired
.
Like
his
companions
,
he
immediately
fell
to
dust
.
We
collected
this
in
a
little
vessel
,
and
buried
it
on
the
shore
:
and
I
took
workmen
from
the
city
to
put
the
ship
in
good
condition
.
After
I
had
exchanged
,
with
great
advantage
,
the
wares
I
had
on
board
for
others
,
I
hired
a
crew
,
richly
rewarded
my
friend
Muley
,
and
set
sail
for
my
fatherland
.
I
took
a
circuitous
route
,
in
the
course
of
which
I
landed
at
several
islands
and
countries
,
to
bring
my
goods
to
market
.
The
Prophet
blessed
my
undertaking
.
After
several
years
I
ran
into
Balsora
,
twice
as
rich
as
the
dying
Captain
had
made
me
.
My
fellow-citizens
were
amazed
at
my
wealth
and
good
fortune
,
and
would
believe
nothing
else
but
that
I
had
found
the
diamond-valley
of
the
far-famed
traveller
Sinbad
.
I
left
them
to
their
belief
;
henceforth
must
the
young
folks
of
Balsora
,
when
they
have
scarcely
arrived
at
their
eighteenth
year
,
go
forth
into
the
world
,
like
me
,
to
seek
their
fortunes
.
I
,
however
,
live
in
peace
and
tranquillity
,
and
every
five
years
make
a
journey
to
Mecca
,
to
thank
the
Lord
for
his
protection
,
in
that
holy
place
,
and
to
entreat
for
the
Captain
and
his
crew
,
that
He
will
admit
them
into
Paradise
.
The
march
of
the
Caravan
proceeded
the
next
day
without
hinderance
,
and
when
they
halted
,
Selim
the
Stranger
began
thus
to
speak
to
Muley
,
the
youngest
of
the
merchants
:
"
You
are
,
indeed
,
the
youngest
of
us
,
nevertheless
you
are
always
in
fine
spirits
,
and
,
to
a
certainty
,
know
for
us
,
some
right
merry
story
.
Out
with
it
then
,
that
it
may
refresh
us
after
the
heat
of
the
day
.
"
"
I
might
easily
tell
you
something
,
"
answered
Muley
,
"
which
would
amuse
you
,
nevertheless
modesty
becomes
youth
in
all
things
;
therefore
must
my
older
companions
have
the
precedence
.
Zaleukos
is
ever
so
grave
and
reserved
;
should
not
he
tell
us
what
has
made
his
life
so
serious
?
Perhaps
we
could
assuage
his
grief
,
if
such
he
have
;
for
gladly
would
we
serve
a
brother
,
even
if
he
belong
to
another
creed
.
"
The
person
alluded
to
was
a
Grecian
merchant
of
middle
age
,
handsome
and
strongly
built
,
but
very
serious
.
Although
he
was
an
unbeliever
,
(
that
is
,
no
Mussulman
,
)
still
his
companions
were
much
attached
to
him
,
for
his
whole
conduct
had
inspired
them
with
respect
and
confidence
.
He
had
only
one
hand
,
and
some
of
his
companions
conjectured
that
,
perhaps
,
this
loss
gave
so
grave
a
tone
to
his
character
.
Zaleukos
thus
answered
Muley
's
friendly
request
:
"
I
am
much
honored
by
your
confidence
:
grief
have
I
none
,
at
least
none
from
which
,
even
with
your
best
wishes
,
you
can
relieve
me
.
Nevertheless
,
since
Muley
appears
to
blame
me
for
my
seriousness
,
I
will
relate
to
you
something
which
will
justify
me
when
I
am
more
grave
than
others
.
You
see
that
I
have
lost
my
left
hand
;
this
came
not
to
me
at
my
birth
,
but
I
lost
it
in
the
most
unhappy
days
of
my
life
.
Whether
I
bear
the
fault
thereof
,
whether
I
am
wrong
to
be
more
serious
than
my
condition
in
life
would
seem
to
make
me
,
you
must
decide
,
when
I
have
told
you
the
Story
of
the
Hewn-off
Hand
.
"
