L32(2):A lost ship
The captain of the Elkor ordered his men to salvage as much as possible from the wreck.
Nothing of value was found,
but the numerous items which were brought to the surface proved to be of great interest.
From a heavy gun that was raised,
the captain realized that the ship must have been a cruiser.
In another chest,
which contained the belongings of a ship's officer,
there was an unfinished letter which had been written on March 14th, 1943.
The captain learnt from the letter that the name of the lost ship was the Karen.
The most valuable find of all was the ship's log book,
parts of which it was still possible to read.
From this the captain was able to piece together all the information that had come to light.
The Karen had been sailing in a convoy to Russia when she was torpedoed by an enemy submarine.
This was later confirmed by a naval official at the Ministry of Defense after the Elkor had returned home.
All the items that were found were sent to the War Museum.

练习感悟:第一行的 wreck 读错了,不过没再修改。今天还是在医院的小公园里录制。坐在一段废弃的石阶上,对面是来来往往的人群。不理会。
