He arrived in Australia on 12 December, just 107 days out from England. He received a warm welcome from the Australian and from his family who had flown there to meet him. On shore, Chichester could not walk without help. Everybody said the same thing: he had done enough; he must not go any further. But he did not listen.
After resting in Sydney for a few weeks, Chichester set off[掀起] once more in spite[尽管] of his friends' attempts[尝试] to dissuade him. The second half of his voyage was by far the more dangerous part, during which he sailed round the treacherous[奸诈] Cape Horn.
On 29 January he left Australia. The next night , the blackest he had ever known, the sea became so rough[粗 粗暴] that the boat almost turned over. Food, clothes, and broken glass were all mixed together. Fortunately, the damage[损伤] 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.
