Sir Francis Chichester(1901 – 1972) — English aviator and adventurer

As a young man, he went to New Zealand to work as a miner, salesman and land agent. In 1929, he made a solo flight to Australia in a biplane （双翼飞机） . In 1931, he made the first eastward flight across Tasman Sea塔斯曼海 ( 在澳大利亚和新西兰之间 ) from NewZealand to Australia.

Sir Francis Chichester(1901 – 1972) — English aviator and adventurer

In 1960, Chichester won the first solo transatlantic ocean race sailing from Plymouth, England to New York City in 40 days. In 1966-1967, he sailed around the world alone in a 55- foot sailing yacht 快艇 .

In 1492, European explorer Christopher Columbus sailed west across the Atlantic Ocean hoping to reach Asia. Instead, he reached lands that were unknown to Europeans. Those lands were later named the Americas. After Columbus, many Europeans began to settle the Americas.

Columbus (1451-1506) — Italian explorer

Zheng He (1371-1433) — Chinese diplomat

He was one of China's most famous sailors, and has ever engaged seven voyages in his lifetime and, and opened trade and diplomatic ties for China with at least 35 countries.

The king or Queen takes the sword of the person being honored or borrows one from someone present at the ceremony. The person about to be knighted kneels on one knee and bows his head respectfully in front of the King or Queen. The King or Queen touches with the sword first the left shoulder of the person bowing before him or her then the right shoulder and finally the top of the bowed head. While doing this the King or Queen says "We dub thee Sir_______."

Knighthood Ceremony

• At sixty-five Francis Chichester set out to sail single-handed round the world. This is the story of that adventure.

• 1. Before he sailed round the world single-handed, Francis Chichester had already surprised his friends several times. He had tried to fly round the world but failed. That was in 1931.

• 2. The years passed. He gave up flying and began sailing. He enjoyed it greatly. Chichester was already 58 years old when he won the first solo transatlantic sailing race. His old dream of going round the world came back, but this time he would sail. His friends and doctors did not think he could do it, as he had lung cancer. But Chichester was determined to carry out his plan. In August, 1966, at the age of nearly sixty-five, an age when many men retire, he began the greatest voyage of his life. Soon, he was away in his new 16-metre boat, Gipsy Moth.

• 3. Chichester followed the route of the great nineteenth century clipper ships. But the clippers had had plenty of crew. Chichester did it all by himself, even after the main steering device had been damaged by gales. Chichester covered 14,100 miles before stopping in Sydney, Australia. This was more than twice the distance anyone had previously sailed alone.

• 4. He arrived in Australia on 12 December, just 107 days out from England. He received a warm welcome from the Australians and from his family who had flown there to meet him. On shore, Chichester could not walk without could not walk without helphelp. Everybody said the same thing: he had done enough; he must not go any further.

• But he did not listen.

• 5. After resting in Sydney for a few weeks, Chichester set off once more in spite of his friends’ attempts to dissuade him. The second half of his voyage was by far the more dangerous part, during which he sailed round

• the treacherous Cape Horn.

• 6. On 29 January he left Australia. The next night, the blackest he had ever known, the sea became so rough that the boat almost turned over. Food, clothes, and broken glass were all mixed together. Fortunately, the damage to the boat was not too serious. Chichester calmly got into bed and went to sleep. When he woke up, the sea had become calm again. Still, he could not help thinking that if anything should happen, the nearest person he could contact by radio, unless there was a ship nearby, would be on an island 885 miles away.

• What did Chichester do when he suffer form the storm?

• 7. After succeeding in sailing round Cape Horn , Chichester sent the following radio message to London: “I feel as if I had wakened from a nightmare. Wild horses could not drag me down to Cap Horn and that sinister Southern Ocean again.”

• What is the meaning of “Wild horses could not drag me ”

• 8. Just before 9 o’clock on Sunday evening 28 May, 1967, he arrived back in England, where a quarter of a million people were waiting to welcome him. Queen Elizabeth II knighted him with the very sword that Queen Elizabeth I had used almost 400 years earlier to knight Sir Francis Drake after he had sailed round the world for the first time. The whole voyage from England and back had covered 28, 500 miles. It had taken him nine months, of which the sailing time was 226 days. He had done what he wanted to

• accomplish.

• 9. Like many other adventurers, Chichester had experienced fear and conquered it. In doing so , he had undoubtedly learnt something about himself. Moreover, in the modern age when human beings depend so much on machines, he had given men throughout the world new pride.
