Adam hasta ve \u00e7ok yoksul g\u00f6r\u00fcn\u00fcyordu. Bir saatten \u00e7ok k\u0131p\u0131rdamadan\u00a0kalm\u0131\u015ft\u0131.

Bu kez, sanki kendilerini g\u00f6zetlemek ister gibi, biraz daha\u00a0uza\u011fa oturmu\u015ftu.<\/p>\n
Anneyle k\u0131zlar korkuyordu. En \u00e7ok anne tela\u015f ediyordu. \u00c7\u00fcnk\u00fc hem yap\u0131s\u0131 korkakt\u0131, hem de kocas\u0131 L\u00e9vesque denizden ancak karanl\u0131k basarken\u00a0d\u00f6nebilirdi.<\/p>\n
Kocas\u0131n\u0131n ad\u0131 L\u00e9vesque’ti. Kendisine Martin derlerdi. Her ikisine birden Martin-L\u00e9vesque ad\u0131n\u0131 vermi\u015flerdi. Nedeni de \u015fuydu: \u00d6nce, her yaz TerreNeuve’e,\u00a0morina av\u0131na giden Martin ad\u0131nda bir gemiciye varm\u0131\u015ft\u0131.<\/p>\n

K\u0131\u015f\u0131n, kas\u0131rga aylar\u0131nda bazan f\u0131r\u0131nc\u0131ya bor\u00e7 edilirdi.\u00a0Bununla birlikte k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fcklerin sa\u011fl\u0131\u011f\u0131 yerindeydi.<\/p>\n
