參考譯文
打撈工作徹底失敗了。小船“埃爾科”號在巴倫支海搜尋了幾個星期之后，正在返航途中。返航前，該船船長收到了大陸上發(fā)來的電報，指示他們放棄這次搜尋。船長知道日后還會再作嘗試，因為他試圖尋找的沉船上載有一批珍貴的金條。
盡管船長接到了電報，他還是決定再試一試。他們用結(jié)實的網(wǎng)把海床搜索了一遍。當(dāng)一只箱子從海底被打撈上來時，甲板上人們激動不已。船員們開始認為沉船找著了，但海底沉箱內(nèi)的物品證明他們弄錯了。事實上，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)的是另一艘沉沒多年的船。

木箱內(nèi)裝有水手艾倫·菲爾丁的私人財物，其中有書籍、衣服、照片以及水手收到的妻子的來信?！鞍柨啤碧柎L命令船員盡量從沉船中打撈物品，但沒發(fā)現(xiàn)什么值錢的東西，不過打撈出來的眾多的物品還是引起了大家極大的興趣。從撈起的一門大炮來看，船長認為那艘船一定是艘巡洋艦。另一只海底沉箱中裝的是船上一位軍官的財物，其中有一封寫于1943年3月14日的信，但沒有寫完。從這封信中船長了解到沉船船名是“卡倫”號。打撈到的東西中有價值的是船上的航海日志，其中有一部分仍然清晰可讀。據(jù)此，船長可以將所有的那些已經(jīng)搞清的材料拼湊起來。“卡倫”號當(dāng)年在為其他船只護航駛往俄國途中突然遭到敵方潛水艇魚雷的襲擊。這一說法在“埃爾科”號返航后得到國防部一位海軍官員的證實。那次打撈到的所有物品均被送往軍事博物館。
