Unit 8 Vocabulary Unit C

spy?


My husband has a subscription to the Journal of the Navy for years. The truth is that it has a number of paragraphs full of curiosities, stories of the sea, sailors, people delivered and especially history. Reading the number of October last year in the Miscellaneous section found an article that we discussed with friends and we laugh game, I searched for information over the network and have come up photos of the protagonist of the story I'm going to copy and well worth a comment.

24,393 .- born survivor. (Signed JR)

On May 27, 1941, shortly after that the battleship Bismarck was sunk in a terrible and unequal combatecuando the destroyer HMS Cossack trying to rescue survivors of the battleship, from the wreck appeared a cat climbed a tree. A sailor of the destroyer was lowered to the surface and was rescued. ERL cat was black with a white band on the neck, had yellow eyes and wearing a collar with a badge with his name, Oscar, and explained that part of the "endowment" of the German battleship.

The castaway cat adopt left the Royal Navy and remained in the Cossack until October 23 was sunk by German submarine U 563. Oscar could be safe in a destroyer of boats, rescued by the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal, which was again adopted, but not for long, since the November 14 U 81 torpedoed the carrier, sinking. Survivor

born, Oscar again saved his skin, but did not return to sea, perhaps to understand the Admiralty that if Germany was not a spy, was a downright jinxed. He spent "for" the home of marine Belfast, where he later died a peaceful existence, they say that looking at the sea in 1955.


This is the amazing story of Oscar cat ... but the good news is that network to search for information on this cat, especially a picture to illustrate the subject, I bullet with another cat named Oscar and the truth has given me a bad feeling about the history of those that make your hair stand on end ... if anyone is curious just have to find the net ... I do not say much else.

What Does The Bottom Of A Le Creuset

Phobia "?

Ando
very entertaining in my moments of rest. In the end I chopped and I signed up to Facebook. After the first moments, as always, you pay the hazing doing things you should not do, charge me a browser having to download another, write stupidity after stupidity, though I laugh a lot with them ... well then last night gave me a panic attack.

If as is, was chatting with some friends chatting quietly when I started to sweat, my pulse quickened and watch with horror that he was abducted by the screen, my fingers could not depart from the keyboard, and I felt like thousands of eyes peered at me from every corner. I had to shut down, if I had to get up and snuff I had smoked a whole box.

I was dying of terror, can certainly be an exaggeration but it is not. I do not like crowds but not to the point of not being able to go to the cinema or a concert or shopping in a department store ... of course I always try to go when they are about to begin and be numbered seat or go shopping minimum flow times. I have agoraphobia, height has nothing to do with the vertigo and consulting ... a professional tells me that something similar could happen to me last night.

After reflecting and comparing felt the same that once tried to climb the ladder Saints Jerome carved into the rock, the other possibility of scaling up was unthinkable for me, when I took 10 steps and that was narrowing the couple's view of the gulf widened, I began to sweat, have palpitations violent, I could not breathe, my legs were lead and locks could not move and the impression of being swallowed by the space opened up before me. And that's what happened to me last night ...

will be a matter of going with touch ... do not want to end up like the main picture.
