Section A

Reading section

Ques.1 Read the passage and answer the questions given below. 5

A sailor is born, not made. And by 'sailor' I mean a men who will take a

craft made up of wood and iron, rope and canvas and compel it to obey his will

on the surface of the sea. Barring Captain and crew mates of big ships, the small

boat sailor is a real sailor. He must know how to make the wind carry his craft

from one point to another. He must know about the tides and rips and eddies,

bar and channel marking, day and night signal; he must be wise in weather lore

and he must be familiar with a peculiar qualities office boats, which differentiate

it from every other boat that was ever build and rigged.

The deep water sailor of today need no none of these things. And he doesn't.

Hippos and haules as he is ordered, swabs desks, washes paint and chips iron

rust. He know nothing and careless. Put him in a small boat and he is helpless.

I shall never forget my astonishment when I first encounter one of the stranger

being. He was a runway English sailor. I was a a lad of twelve, with a decked over,

fourteen foot, centre board skiff which I had thought myself to sail. I said at his

feet as at the feet of a God, while he is spoke about strangeland and

peoples,dates of violence and hair rising gales at sea. Then one day I took him for

a sail. With all the trepidation of an amateur. I hosted sail and got underway.


Here was a man, looking on critically I was sure, who knew more in one second

about boats and water then I will ever know. After an interval in which I

exceeded myself, he took the thriller and sheet. I satamid ships, open mouthed,

prepare to learn what real sailing was. I gaped in awe for I learn what a real sailor

was in a small boat. We couldn't trim the sheet to save himself, he nearly capsize

to several time in squalls, he didn't know what the centre board was for, no

didn't know that in running a boat before the wind one must sit in the middle

instead on the side. And finally when he come back to the wharf, he run the skiff

in full tilt, shattering her nose and caring aware the mast step. And yet he was a

really truly sailor fresh from the vast deep.

small boat?

4. What did the writer come to know about the deep sea sailor sailing skills?

5. What is the main difference between a small boat sailor and a sailor on a

big ship?
