Humphrey van Weyden was going home. He was a passenger on a ship, the Martinez. Fog had rolled in, so it was not a good day for a sea journey. Humphrey stood on the deck and looked at the fog. He could not see the sky or the sea. Everything, everywhere, was gray. Another passenger walked out onto the deck and stopped to talk to Humphrey. He said, "There's danger out there. There are too many ships about. We can't see them and they can't see us. Listen - do you hear them?" Humphrey listened. He could hear bells that sounded faint and far away. Others sounded close. There were whistles, too. Some were loud, some soft. Behind him, he could hear the Martinez's whistle blowing loudly. "Those bells and whistles are telling us where other ships are," said the man. One far-off whistle became louder. The Martinez slowed. A few minutes passed. The whistle became still louder. The men could hear the other ship pass to one side. The whistle grew faint again. At last, they heard it no more.0
