I remember the boundless expanse of the sea. Red Lake Mystery

And the sound became more and more powerful, and in this sad twilight of a foggy evening it seemed like the voice of a formidable retribution, torn, from somewhere in the very depths of the ocean.

At first, the guards were talking in bewilderment, listening.

They cry, it seems.

No, they sing.

Maybe call for help?

And who will come?

Of course they cry, listen ...

No, I tell you, they sing. They have a song...

Kuwahara's pale face looked arrogant and angry - the sound from the barge infuriated him.

Tell the tugboats: unhook the barge, send the boat to the stern, - he ordered.

Lieutenant Colonel Kuwahara remained in the cockpit for some time, then went up on deck. He saw a boat swaying under the stern of the barge, illuminated from the guard. Several soldiers, leaning over the side, hastily tore off the boards near the helm of the barge. But now they finished their work, pushed off with force from the stern, and began to work with oars.

At the stern of the old barge, the water murmured muffledly, forming an ever-increasing funnel near the black hole. The stern began to sit down. Enormous bubbles bubbled up against the rusty walls. Now the stern part of the deck began to hide under water, meanwhile the bow of the barge rose higher and higher, crawling out of the water. The underwater part, illuminated by a searchlight, appeared - the bottom and keel, densely covered with shells and brown strands of algae. The barge slowly became upright. But, without standing straight, she quickly went to the bottom. Only huge bubbles of air flew out from under the water in that place for a long time ...

PEOPLE AT THE SEA

One of those nights in the eastern part of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk along the Kuril chain of islands lay a motionless dense fog. At that time, the Soviet steamship Putyatin, already known to the reader, was sailing here. The ship moved slowly, from time to time announcing the impenetrable expanse of sea with warning beeps. At two o'clock in the morning, the young navigator Kostya Lagutnikov woke up the captain.

Valery Andreevich, it's dangerous to go, - he said. - The fog is very dense, so as not to deviate towards the Kuriles. They are not far from here, and now the tide is out.

How fast are we going?

We are almost standing, Valery Andreevich: three knots an hour. The captain of the Putyatin, Valery Andreyevich Kramskov, an old graying sailor, slowly got up from the couch. He used to stay out of bed during the flight. Now the captain's old friend, major of the naval intelligence service Innokenty Gribanov, was sleeping in it, heading to a new duty station in Kamchatka. The captain himself was content with a hard couch. He only allowed himself to take off his outer clothing at the parking lots in the port. He developed this habit during the war years, when danger threatened every minute at sea. All he had to do was slip his feet into his unlaced shoes and he was ready to go.

Dense fog, you say? The captain yawned and rubbed his clean-shaven chin. - Let's go see.

Together they went to the navigator's cabin. The captain stood there for a long time over a brightly lit nautical chart with a course laid out on it.

Are you doing a tide correction? Will have to keep it that way for now. Reefs close...

Then he went up to the upper bridge. The darkness on the sea was truly pitch-black. Cold damp air penetrated the collar of the tunic, it seemed sticky. There was a deafening silence on the sea and on the ship, only far below, below the decks, the machines were breathing calmly and hoarsely.

The devil knows what darkness, - the captain grumbled displeasedly, - the railing of the bridge is not even visible. Give more warning horns. If you have doubts or notice something suspicious, wake up immediately.

Clapping the heels of his unlaced shoes, the captain trudged down the ladder and disappeared into his cabin. There he turned on the night light, he wanted to read, but the dream quickly overcame him.

However, he had hardly forgotten when there was an alarming knock on the door.

What happened? asked Valery Andreevich, groping for his shoes with his feet.

Valery Andreevich, people are shouting somewhere nearby and the engine is rumbling. They don't shout in Russian. The Japanese must be in trouble...

They quickly climbed to the upper bridge. The screams of people could be heard from the darkness. The discordant chorus of voices was clearly crying out for help. The voices came from the right of the ship's course.

If this is a misfortune with the ship, then why in calm weather? - thought aloud the captain's officer on duty. - Maybe a schooner hit the reefs?

Turn on the searchlight and direct the three sailors on duty and the boatswain on the boat, the captain ordered. "Let them carefully investigate what's going on there."

A minute later, a bright light flashed off the starboard side, dissipating in an iridescent gray mess of fog. The blocks rattled, and in the silence the boat fell softly into the water. The captain leaned over the bridge and shouted into a bullhorn:

On the boat! Be careful. In case of danger - do not come close. If you can take the victims, load up to failure.

Down there, in the midst of the darkness, a white ball of light loomed and disappeared: it was a lantern on the departing boat.

And the voices in the darkness continued to call for help. “Not otherwise, Japanese fishermen,” the captain decided. Over the long years of sailing on the Far Eastern seas, he more than once happened to pick up Japanese fishermen, either carried away by a storm, or floating on a raft after the death of a schooner.

Not a year passed without these eternal workers of the sea living in misery in Japanese waters.

Suddenly the screams subsided and a minute later came again. These were already exclamations of joy.

On the boat! How are you? - the captain shouted into the mouthpiece.

In the aftermath of time, let these words shine with eternal beauty at the tomb entrance. Now let's talk about the wedding. About how Yegor married his wife. Indeed, I married my priceless wife. Married and gave a dowry! People judge:

You, Yegor, wonderfully ripened the whole coast. They will take an example from you.

They will not take an example if they consider with what saws our hearts have been frayed.

My life began in the service of the Frozen Sea. I come from Onega, but I don’t remember my native hut, I don’t remember womb songs. I only remember the boundless expanse of the sea, the masts and rigging, the sound of the waves, the cries of seagulls. I knew the Frozen Sea, as any person knows his home. You walk in a dark room, you know where the floorboard creaks, where the threshold is, where the jamb is. I'm guiding the ship in the fog. I won’t hit a stone, I won’t hit a corga.

My current rank is skipper, but the ship's crew called me in the old way - feeder - and joked:

Our feeder with a skin in his mouth will come in and turn around.

Navigation is a righteous work. The sea builds man.

Our ship was called "Murmanets". We have been on it for many years. Fifteen people - all like one family. They wintered on the Onega and on the Winter Coast. I was engaged in ship building, was fond of ferrying sailing ships to steam ones. Drafted projects and sent drawings to Arkhangelsk.

He rested with small children: he made toys for them. On the Winter Shore I had a friend, Kolka Zimny. He adored me for brushes and paints. Wherever he meets me: “Uncle Yegor Vasilyevich, draw a boat!”

Little Varenka met me on the Onega shore. I told her about Winter Kolka. She embroidered a handkerchief for him. He sent her a rowan pipe.

Little Varenka loved my fairy tales. Subsequently, she herself told me the tale of my life.

Having a talent for poetry, I spent two winters working on poetry. In resounding verses, he outlined my biography. But as soon as I begin to read, a powerful dream fettered the listeners.

At that time I did not think about my years, about age. The years of life were like geese: they flew, called, rushed ...

I turned fifty.

I receive an invitation to report to the Arkhangelsk Port Authority. My comrades were worried:

What are you, skipper! Will you leave us? Don't show up and don't answer.

Guys, I'll be back in a week. Maybe some curiosity.

Look, skipper. We let you go for ten days, no more.

I left them for ten days - and lived apart from them for ten years.

I am in Arkhangelsk. It turned out that someone, my old acquaintance, was put in charge of the port office. He meets me, the chair will support. He treats tea from his hands:

Sit down, second Kulibin. I found your inventive drawings on the use of a steam engine in sailing. We have equipped a workshop in this direction. Work and be able to captivate the artisan youth.

I walked through the city without a hat. I forgot my hat in the office. Should I laugh or cry?

Artisan youth appreciated the cheerfulness of my nature. I was a locksmith and a carpenter, a turner and a painter, a draftsman and an artist.

Days and months rolled by.

A year has passed, another has gone.

The aforementioned supervisor assessed my work in the following way:

I was not mistaken that I called you. But I can't understand you. You are a mechanic, repairing steamship engines, and your students only hear from you that hymns to light-winged sailing ships.

So five years passed. And I feel like I've been robbed. No, it's like I robbed someone. About the abandoned family, that is, about my marine team, I tried not to know anything, I tried to forget ...

When spring comes, I can’t clean up the place:

Oh, skipper, you've been at anchor for five years! I would roll out the anchor, open the sails - yes, into the sea ...

No, in addition to the anchor, I was chained to the shore for another five years.

I receive a letter from Onega. Varenka, whom I remembered as a baby, writes that, after the death of his father, he and his mother wish to live in Arkhangelsk. They know how to sew with silks, they know the lace business.

I lived in a house that I got after my aunt. He invited Varenka to his place.

Met them at the pier. A girl in a peaceful dress comes down from the skin, thin, but, like a golden diadem, braids are folded on her head in two rows. How long have you frolicked on the green grass, and then ... Look and ahni! And what a calm young face! What a dreamy look! The subtlety of forms is not to the taste of our life, but I adore dreaminess in a woman.

They began to live with me in the upper bed.

I am over fifty, Varya is twenty, and I was shy at first. She will go out to sew on the porch, I sigh from under the curtain and wonder all the time: “Why are these people at my gate not saving up to admire the beauty?”

Well, thoughtful Ophelia, tell me, which of your fellow teachers do you like best?

Varya jokingly:

Ophelia took the water. Am I like a drowned woman?

Let someone drown in your heart... And your mother will sigh:

The heart is closed with a door. True Fefelia. If only you, Yegor, would take her to the theater.

I seized on this word. The presentation was lengthy. My lady is not bored, she worries from the heart. I suffered too. In domesticity, even the touch of the hand is reprehensible, in the theater - close gullibility. Moreover, an air toilet and the aroma of innocence ...

In the dressing room I give Varya a fur coat, and the watchman with tenderness:

Look, daddy feels sorry for his daughter! It can be seen, the same daughter, then?

At home I looked in the mirror: a frock coat in the old fashion. An ancestral beard ... Well, there are males older than you, and they married young ones. How many historical examples!

My mind split in two. The ship lost its rudder, and unknown winds picked it up.

His students do not recognize Uncle Yegor: slouchy trousers with a short jacket, a beard a la Themistofel. Cigarettes in my mouth, I can't smoke.

I invite Varya to the operetta. Half of the action did not finish:

How can love be laughed at, and treason praised?!

Once in the workshop I stepped on a cat's tail. The guys laughed:

Yegor Vasilievich, are you thinking about getting married?

Who told you?

Such a sign. Distracted feelings.

I tried to express my feelings in poetry. Varya answered with a sad look. At last I spoke with all the subtlety I had learned from books. Varya meekly lowered her eyes.

For the first year after the wedding, the “young husband” flew on wings, walked on one heel. Run down the stairs and run up the stairs. I'll run to work, send air kisses to my wife. And the lower back accurately predicts rain and snow. Studied a subtle secular demeanor - shuffling a leg and kissing a hand. Yes, love builds a soul in a young man, but troubles an old man's soul.

And what Varya was, she remained like that. No vzdorov, no perekorov, no empty talk. She never embarrassed me, never slandered me, never annoyed me. I'll just fall down with a cold, she won't sleep at night. And she attended school, her craft rules carefully. She loved children. He will drag someone else's child from the street, wash it and feed it.

Varenka was a hunter for novels depicting high agitations of passions. But she didn’t bring it on herself.

We lived like this for four years. But I feel like I've been robbed. No, it's like I robbed someone.

It was a rough summer. Storms raged at sea. There were rumors of crashes. One rainy day they demand me to the office. Chief says:

On Solombala Island there is a shkun named "Obnova" who had an accident. The shkun belongs to the Onega society, but the office is going to buy it. I entrust the repair to you. Get helpers. Keep in mind that the skipper of this ship is a certified mechanic. Trained in St. Petersburg, Nikolai Ivanov.

I haven't heard that, I say.

Came to Solombala on a lighter. The guys are unloading materials, tools, but I can’t get enough of this skin. Truly Renewal! What lightness and grace of construction! I talk with her, with a skin, I stroke the holes with my hands:

Don't worry, my dove. Let's heal your wounds. You will be better than before...

Suddenly, someone grabbed me from behind with his hands. I look around: a young fellow, a strong camp, a bright face.

Who will you be? - I ask.

The fellow made a boyish face and uttered only:

Uncle Egor, draw a boat!

Kolka Winter! Oh, my dear! Oh, you are desirable...

For some reason, I was terribly excited by the news that Kolya told me: the team of his shkun almost entirely consisted of my former comrades from Murmanets. The old "Murmanets" dilapidated, but the consent of his team remained inviolable.

Ask Kolya:

Where are they now?

They hurried to their homeland, to Onega. But I heard that the port authority does not want to let such excellent sailors go.

I told Varya about my meeting with Kolya Zimniy, and I gave him a little surprise. He knew that I was married, but he expected to see a troublesome old woman. Imagine the amazement of a young man when my thoughtful Ophelia appeared before him in a crown of beautiful braids.

Varenka, this gentleman once made a trumpet from mountain ash and sent it to you as a present.

Varenka laughs and holds out her hand to him. He does not notice her hand, blushed:

So it's you ... It's you who embroidered a handkerchief for me? .. I laugh out loud:

It was I who wooed you, snot-nosed ones. He carried gifts from the groom to the bride across the sea. You missed your happiness. Marriage itself is not a mistake. Ha ha ha! And you, Kolya, why are you not married?

There was no fate, Yegor Vasilyevich.

With fun, I worked for this skin.

Just as a mother washes and wipes her daughter, combs her hair and smoothes it, dresses it up and admires it, so I did and cared for this “Obnova”. And it was touching and comforting that I was trying for my old comrades. Let the feeder be remembered well.

Varya will come sometimes, bring hot drinks.

One afternoon I was sitting, resting near the shore: the seagulls were screaming, they were hunting for fish. Between the gray stone blue bell, forget-me-nots. Suddenly I hear laughter: Kolya and Varya are gathering rosehips for a bouquet along the corner. She is afraid to stumble, he holds her by the hand. And that they have laughter, conversation! Youth takes them. And somehow the shining day became boring to me, the sky faded, the flowers faded.

I began to urinate and be offended. Well, judge for yourself: this young man smashed the ship against the stones. Instead of helping me with a contrite heart to fix this ship, he scoffs at the ladies, brings them bouquets.

Kolya at the table will lie for nothing - Varenka laughs like a bell. And I will teach something useful to explain - there is no exciting attention in it. And, it seems, my dear, for so many years, could you appreciate my curious knowledge and reasonableness of concepts ...

What about Nikolai? Unfounded opinions, inattention to the secrets of nature. I went from the sea, but there is no due passion for the sea. With all the desire, there is nothing to admire: neither the grace of well-mannered manners, nor secular courtesy ... Bear cub! Each paw with a bucket. Only there is that the eyes and teeth with laughter.

Such experiences were painful for me. It was like two people were fighting inside of me. One, loving and kind, rejoiced that Varya revived and cheered up, while the other someone was jealous and offended.

But Varya also noticed something in her heart and was frightened of something. Once the three of us agreed to go to the island for cloudberries. I, inventing drying oil, hesitated. And Varya refused:

I don't drive without my husband.

Like a father's house, I updated and repaired the shkuna. And, having finished the business, as with the father's house, he said goodbye. Nicholas remained to live in Solombala.

The rainy autumn has dragged on. White flies flew. Varya never once mentioned Solombala. Nicholas was not named.

Nikolai came to us on the first trip. Seeing the guest, Varya trembled and changed from her face. He stayed with me for two days. Varya did not say a word to him. Upon departure, death longing was established in her eyes. Silent, leaning over sewing. Outside the window, the snow is steadily falling...

What does Yegor do in the presence of a deplorable wife? He set out to show contempt and desolately succeeded. The heart froze, and the winter of the soul was terrible.

They thought that the end of winter would not wait ... Once Varya said to me:

Yegor Vasilyevich, Kolya writes to me. The letters are all on the red table.

I said through my teeth:

I consider it low to be interested in such secrets.

One night I hear: Varya sighs, cries behind her partition. I spoke in a snarky tenor:

Grandmother used to pray: "Send me, Lord, a cloud of tears." Will I sleep for you?

He lashed her with such a word and was horrified. Is it me? Do I tell her, poor thing? I wanted to cry, but instead I cut my face into a smile.

Kolya came to us at Shrovetide. I just gasped. As if someone had kidnapped him: his eyes were hollow, he smiles out of habit, but the smile is the most suffering.

Where did your white body go? Where did your scarlet blush go? White body on a silk whip, Scarlet blush on the right handle. He will strike with a whip, he will reduce the body. It hits the cheek, there will be no blush.

I sing ... And the heavy burden that crushed me all gathered in one place: I’m about to throw it off. I would cry - I still can not.

The next day, Barin's mother "secretly" expressed to me:

Kolya came to say goodbye without you. They are always silent. And then he looked and looked, and fell before Varya. He hugged her legs, put his head on her knees and wept bitterly like a child. Varya shed silent tears, pressing a handkerchief to her lips to drown her sobs. Then she wiped Kolya's face and said: “Kolya, we have sown a lot of flowers, few have borne. Kolya, when we are apart, do not be sad beyond measure. Every time my soul hears your sorrow and mourns inconsolably.”

I ran to myself, began to tear and bite my beard: “You are Herod! Crane neck, yellow gray hair! What are you, past yourself, attacking people? What are you planting in your life?"

Spring has come again, big waters, unfading dawns. It was heard that my old comrades agreed to enter Obnova. The office was waiting for them from day to day. But what do I care about free people!

Some evening we sat with Varya, were silent. Zotov, a steamship acquaintance, arrives. Asks for a conversation:

What is your Nikolai Zimniy up to? He submitted a request to the Port Authority to enroll him in the team of the Novaya Zemlya Expedition. Second week living in the city. Stopped by me.

Varya became whiter than the tablecloth. Leave the room. I hear, upstairs, in the room, the door creaked.

When Zotov left, I went up to Varya. She was crying somewhere, by the window on a chest, and then she fell asleep. And so much was her weeping that both her sleeve and her kerchief were wet with tears. The unquenchable light of the summer night illuminated the face of the sleeping woman. And it was menacing to see the inexplicable sadness in his closed eyes, the bitterness in his clenched lips.

Pity more than a horn struck me in the heart. And, neatly standing up, hands to my heart, I wept with tears. And in a quiet voice, so as not to disturb his mournful sleep, he began to say:

My pitiful child, bitter little orphan! Where is your beauty? Where is your sweet youth? You were a little happy with me. My kisses were bitter to you. I did wrong, famously applied to dashing. My conscience reproached me - I did not believe the reproaches of conscience. I saw you in tears - and was ashamed to console you. How many times your sadness touched me, but pride kept me.

My miserable cuckoo, my mournful dove! The animals are having fun over the children, the bird is happy about the chicks - you instilled in a cold nest. You, like the sun behind a cloud, were lost, my dear beloved child! I was your husband-annoyer, now I am your father-patron...

Whispering these speeches, tears run down to my toes. And the red rising sun gilds the pine walls.

So that night I wept and mourned my pride.

But hours-time pass, morning - in full face. The sea breeze came, and the curtains flew over the windows like white doves. Downstairs, I ordered them to guard the Master's dream, so that, as soon as she wakes up, she would go to Kolya's apartment and wait for me there, at Zotov's.

And he himself took out his Pomeranian clothes of brown cloth from the chest, a knitted shirt with unearthly patterns, shoe covers with red tops, dressed up as he should, and with a light step went to the office.

In the office, I fly straight up to the boss, not paying attention to the people sitting along the wall:

Mr. Chief, I'm on a personal matter... Glancing at me in surprise, he pointed to

You are not familiar with them, Yegor Vasilyevich?

I looked around and ... fell at the feet of them, my old squad.

How many words I had prepared in case of meeting them! And all he could say was:

Darlings... The only ones... I'm sorry.

They all stood up as one, and in return bowed to me with a big bow:

Hello for many years, dear feeder and friend Yegor Vasilyevich!

They put me on a chair. And I keep looking at them, my age-old friends, at their calm faces, sedate figures.

Chief says:

You came, Yegor Vasilyevich, more than by the way ... But you're on a personal matter, aren't you?

I came here to ask to join the Renovation team. Chief says:

I expected this. But the board won't let you go unless you present a replacement. And this is not expected.

I'm asking:

Are the rumors true that Nikolai Zimniy left Obnova?

Gone. Refused this service categorically. For some personal reason.

I'm talking:

Mr. boss, if only someone would put the workshop to the right height. Nikolai Zimniy - ship mechanic with a certificate.

The chief even grunted:

Hey Egor! There would be no better way out for you and for me. But Nikolai Zimny ​​is torn to distant lands. He told me: “If you don’t arrange me for the Novaya Zemlya expedition, I will go to distant winter quarters on merchant ships ...” He rested, persuade him for at least a year.

I banged my fist on the table and said:

Mr. Chief, I undertake to persuade Nikolai to stay in the city. And the term will take me not a year, but five minutes.

All eyes goggled.

How?..

I will chain him to the pier.

Good afternoon, Egor! Wield!

I ran to Zotov, where Nikolai lived. I stood in the entryway, listening... Varya cries with a vengeance:

Not one parent gave birth to us, She rewarded us with one fate-talent: That our love is sadness without consolation. I would not be honored to leave my old husband. He did not command me menacingly, He did not offend me with a rude word. He sowed many flowers, but little was born.

Nicholas says:

I have to leave, Varenka, but I can't stand to be without you!

I waved the door, stepped solemnly over the threshold:

Take me with bread and salt! Daughter! You have suffered much poverty, and now you rejoice! I, your ex-husband, now your father, triumph over myself a bright victory. I give you into the hands of Nikolai, Ivanovich forever... Nikolka, I know all your bandit thoughts. Don't bother! Don't go!

He wept bitterly and wiped away his tears:

Egor Vasilyevich!.. We do not agree to offend you...

Varya fell at my feet:

Thank you, Egor Vasilievich! Thank you very much. You have completed your eagle wings, you have found a high strength in yourself.

You forgive a man's offense, You access the highest degrees of father's, Before you we are unrequited and dumb.

I picked her up from the floor like a child:

Daughter, raise your face and don’t lower yourself to anyone else! Children! I fell hurt, got up great. Now I will be a shareholder of your joy, a shareholder of your fun, a half sharer of your happiness.

Seeing my joy, Kolya and Varya became more beautiful than the morning.

I established them in my little house and, like a partridge, escaping from a snare, rushed to the old and eternally young marine life.

Joy alone does not come: my squad announced to the port office that they would sign up for the service only if their old feeder Yegor Vasilyev was appointed skipper on the Obnova.

So this solemn day of my liberation, the day of absolution, has come. The low-lying office chamber seemed to be flooded with light. We have all come together. The head of the office dipped his pen into the inkwell and gave it to me:

Subscribe, feeder.

I'm talking:

Allow me, Mr. Chief, to complete the rank, to ask the squad.

Comrades murmured:

Egor Vasilievich! This is the rank of beginners. You are an old sailor.

I'm talking:

My conscience dictates so.

They sat down along the wall decorously. I stood in front of them, foot to foot, hand to heart, and said:

I strike all of you with my forehead, both large and small, and middle: I ask you to accept me into the naval service, in what rank I will be fit. And about that honesty of your forehead I beat, I beat with my forehead.

And, taking his hands away from his heart, he bowed in a great custom, hitting his forehead twice on the floor. They all stood up as one and said in equal voice:

Condemnation Egor Vasilyevich! All of us, big, and smaller, and middle, we order you to be in the naval service, and you should be in the rank of feeder. And you rule the post of feeder with us unanimously and unanimously. And we will be to you, our feeder, obedient, handy and word-of-mouth.

And here I am again at sea. A fair wind whistles in gear. Waves come in rows, ridges.

We overtake the Pomeranian boat. They shout to us:

By the way, hello dear! I answer:

You have many years of health in all winds!

From them again comes:

Where are you going to go? I answer:

From the city of Arkhangelsk to the Murmansk Sea...

And again, only the waves are rustling and the wind is talking to the sails.

O sea! My soul builder!

(17) Because mental work, like no other, is fraught with joy in itself and has a wonderful property: the more you work with the mind, the more you want to work.
