READ THE TEXT AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.

The pilot who was never paid

One of the most famous life-savers in history saved thousands of lives and many ships. This swimmer and
navigator first appeared at the end of the nineteenth century. For more than twenty years he guided ships
through dangerous waters. The incredible life-saver could not read or write, had no training and worked for
nothing. The sailors called him Jack, and he was a dolphin.

Near the coast of New Zealand, there is a very dangerous passage through the D’Urville Islands called French
Pass. French Pass had a bad reputation until Jack arrived. Then for over twenty years, it was safe.

For all those years, twenty-four hours a day, Jack met passing ships. He swam along at the side of the ship for
miles, playing and jumping into the air, then diving under the ship and appearing on the other side. But when
the ship reached the entrance to French Pass, Jack swam in front of the ship and stayed there, indicating the
only safe channel through the Pass, until the ship was on the other side.

In 1903, a passenger on board the Penguin drank too much and fired a gun at Jack. The sailors were angry
and wanted to throw him into the sea, but the captain stopped them. Jack wasn’t seen for two weeks and
everybody thought he was dead. Then, one morning, he appeared again. After he was shot at by a passenger
on the Penguin, Jack never met that ship again – the only ship he refused to accompany. With only a human
pilot to guide it, the Penguin hit some underwater rocks in the Pass a few years later and was lost. Jack
probably died of old age in 1912, but he wasn’t forgotten. The story of his life-saving ability is recorded on a
statue erected to his memory on the beach of Wellington.
