Then answer each question.  \nA Ship in a Storm  \nDid you ever go far out into the great ocean? How beautiful it is to be out at sea when the sea is smooth and still!  \nWhen a storm approaches, the scene changes. The heavy, black clouds appear in the distance and throw a deep, long shade over the world of waters. The captain and sailors soon see in the clouds the dark signs. All hands are then set to work to take in sail .  \nThe hoarse notes of the captain, speaking through his trumpet, are echoed across the ship. They’ll be happy if all is made snug before the gale strikes the vessel .  \nAt last, the gale comes like a vast moving mountain of air. It strikes the ship. The vessel heaves and groans under the dreadful weight and struggles to escape through the foaming waters. If she is far out at sea, she will be likely to ride out the storm in safety. But if the wind is driving her upon the shore, the poor ship may hit the rocks.  \nOnce there was a ship in a storm . Some of her masts were already  \nbroken, and her sails lost. While the wind was raging, and the billows were dashing against her , the cry was heard, “A man has fallen overboard!”  \nThe rescue boat was lowered quickly, and it was soon seen bounding on its way over the mountain of waves. At one moment,  \nthe boat seemed lifted to the skies , and the next,  \nit sank down and appeared to be lost beneath the waves!  \nGrade 5 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nFinally , the m an was found. He had almost drowned , but he was taken onboard , and now they made for the ship. The ship rolled so dreadfully that it seemed certain the boat wouldn’t make it to the ship. Now, what should they do?  \nThe captain told one of the men to go aloft and throw down a rope. This was tied fast to the boat, and when the sea was somewhat calm , the rescue boat was hoisted and landed on the ship with a dreadful crash. It was a desperate way of getting on board , but fortunately everyone was safe.  \nOn the dangerous points along our seacoast are lighthouses which can be seen far out at sea and serve as guides to ships. Sometimes the fog is so dense that these lights cannot be seen, but most lighthouses have great fog bells or fog horns; some of the latter are made to sound by steam and can be heard for a long distance. These bell s and horns keep sounding as long as the fog lasts.  \nThere are also many life-saving stations along the coast where trained men are ready with lifeboats. When a ship is driven ashore they at once go to the rescue of those on board , and this way many valuable lives are saved.  \nA sailor’s life is a very hard one. Our young friends owe a debt of  \ngratitude to those whose home is upon the great waters , and who bring them the luxuries of other countries.  \nGrade 5 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nQuestions:  \n1.
