How the sailor Shurik from the vessel was discharged
The captain decided to write off the sailor Shurik for drunkenness in the nearest port of departure.
Only now? → In two months of flight. The crew was surprised.
I can’t drink so much! I can not! He said, health is no longer that.
We will be bored! The crew objected.
- But bring money from the flight home, and don't drink everything in the port cocktails! The captain pared, not very believing his words.
- We will drink them, - the crew did not agree, - only now we will be sad.
What? what? Rebellion on the ship entrusted to me? Who am I to you? Where are you for me? The captain showed his harsh character, reminding him that he was on the ship "first after God."
The nearest port was Cartagena, where we arrived in three days. Matros Shurik gathered his things and put a farewell banquet in the cabin company, attending the entire crew and the local agent representing the interests of our steam ship in the port.
The drunkenness continued until the morning, some sailors, after defending their guards, sat at the table, others left, entering duty. There were only four regular participants in the banquet: the captain, the ship's doctor, the local agent and the sailor Shurik himself.
And in the early morning of the next day on the pier, a taxi stopped at the trap to pick up Shurik from the steamboat and take him to the airport. But from the trap of the ship, instead of the discharged sailor, the doctor came down, who gathered in the nearest store for alcohol and cigarettes. Having seen a taxi, he rejoiced that he had another new super-capability here in Colombia, "to call a taxi with the force of thought," and Doc, without the slightest doubt, got into the car and left to replenish his stores of alcohol and tobacco.
Only by noon, when the director of the agent company appeared on the steamboat in search of the missing employee, the captain recalled in honor of what yesterday’s drunkeness began and who was the latinos who snorted at the doctor in the medical isolation.
So, on the first day of parking in the port, the sailor Shurik was unable to write off on the shore.
The next day, the captain categorically prohibited the crew from accompanying Shurik and personally controlled how he, accompanied by a shy agent, sat in a taxi. Three hours later the taxi returned – Shurik and the agent were dead drunk and, hugged, slept on the back seat of the car. The interrogation of the driver, conducted by the radiist, showed that the sailor Shurik offered a drink as soon as the car left the port gate. When the taxi arrived at the airport, the driver was asked to wait until Shurik ran to the bar for tequila and then told to take them back to the port, to the boat.
So, on the second day of parking to write off the sailors Shurik was also unable to.
The captain did not give up. He expelled Shurik from the steamboat to a roadside hotel located near the airport, and forbade him, under any pretext, to show up in the port. To the director of the agency, the captain promised that if Shurik did not leave the nearest flight, he would write such a letter "where it should be" that his firm would collapse "only by paying lawyers."
Two days later, we finished loading, closed the covers of the trums and prepared to leave the port, as suddenly a police car approached our trap.
Their own? The captain was asked by the local police officers, pulling out the drunken body of the sailor Shurik on the pier.
“My,” answered the captain with a heavy breath, and, turning to the watchman at the trap, ordered, “load him onto the steam boat.
Hurra, Shurik is back! The crew was pleased.
“I’ll write it in the next port anyway,” the captain promised the crew.
The crew agreed. - To drop the sailors Shurik from the steamboat is fun!
