DAY 1 The North Ship IX CLASS 9 AUTUMN CHAPTER BENGALI TO ENGLISH
The Three Ships
Explore the journey of three vessels across the unforgiving sea.
Teacher's Note
Welcome, students! Today we will analyze the symbolic journeys of three ships. Notice how each ship faces a different fate—one finds wealth, one is trapped, and the third embarks on a mysterious, endless voyage.
EN Poem Text
I saw three ships go sailing by,
Over the sea, the lifting sea,
And the wind rose in the morning sky,
And one was rigged for a long journey.
The first ship turned towards the west,
Over the sea, the running sea,
And by the wind was all possessed
And carried to a rich country.
The second turned towards the east,
Over the sea, the quaking sea,
And the wind hunted it like a beast
To anchor in captivity.
BN বঙ্গানুবাদ
আমি দেখলাম তিনটি জাহাজ ভেসে চলেছে,
সমুদ্রের উপর দিয়ে, উত্তাল সমুদ্রের উপর দিয়ে,
আর সকালের আকাশে বাতাস উঠল,
এবং একটি জাহাজ দীর্ঘ যাত্রার জন্য সজ্জিত ছিল।
প্রথম জাহাজটি পশ্চিমের দিকে ঘুরে গেল,
সমুদ্রের উপর দিয়ে, ছুটে চলা সমুদ্রের উপর দিয়ে,
এবং বাতাস তাকে পুরোপুরি দখল করে নিল
আর এক সমৃদ্ধ দেশে নিয়ে গেল।
দ্বিতীয়টি পূর্ব দিকে ঘুরে গেল,
সমুদ্রের উপর দিয়ে, কম্পিত সমুদ্রের উপর দিয়ে,
এবং বাতাস তাকে এক পশুর মতো তাড়া করল
বন্দীদশায় নোঙর ফেলতে বাধ্য করল।

02 Long Answer Questions (Big)
1. Compare the journeys of the first two ships with that of the third ship.
Solution: The first and second ships had relatively conventional journeys. The first ship went west, aided by the wind, and reached a rich country. The second ship went east and was "hunted" by the wind, eventually being anchored in captivity. Both these ships eventually returned, whether happily or unhappily. In contrast, the third ship drove north into an "unforgiving sea" without any wind to help it. Its decks were frosty, and it faced a "fire-spilling star." Unlike the others, it went "wide and far" and was specifically rigged for a long, arduous journey, suggesting a sense of purpose and endurance that the other two lacked.
2. Explain the significance of the "wind" in the poem for each ship.
Solution: The wind acts as a powerful force of nature that dictates the fate of the first two ships. For the first ship, the wind is a possessive but helpful force that carries it to a prosperous destination. For the second ship, the wind is described as a "beast" that hunts the ship, showing nature's predatory side, leading to the ship's "captivity." However, for the third ship, there is "no breath of wind." This lack of wind signifies that the third ship's journey is not dependent on external luck or natural aid; it must move forward by its own strength and preparation, highlighting its resilience.
3. What does the poet mean by "the proud unfruitful sea"?
Solution: The phrase "proud unfruitful sea" describes the northern sea where the third ship travels. "Proud" suggests an indifferent, majestic, and perhaps arrogant nature that does not care for the struggles of the sailors. "Unfruitful" implies that this sea yields nothing—no riches like the first ship found, and no easy passage. It is a barren, hostile environment that offers only challenges. This emphasizes the bravery of the third ship, which chooses to navigate a path that offers no immediate rewards or comfort.
4. Analyze the imagery of the "fire-spilling star" and the "darkening sea."
Solution: The "darkening sea" creates an atmosphere of gloom, danger, and the unknown, setting the stage for a difficult voyage. The "fire-spilling star" is a striking image that could represent a celestial guide or a harsh, burning sun/comet. It adds a sense of cosmic scale to the third ship's journey. While the other ships deal with earthly winds and countries, the third ship seems to be on a journey of epic proportions, sailing under intense heat or light in a cold, dark environment, symbolizing the extremes of human endurance.
5. Write a newspaper report on a devastating flood based on the provided hints.
Solution:
DEVASTATING FLOOD HITS MIDNAPORE
By Staff Reporter
Midnapore, July 25: Heavy rainfall over the past week has triggered a devastating flood in the Midnapore district. Major rivers are overflowing their banks, submerging hundreds of villages. The situation is critical as thousands have been rendered homeless. Reports indicate a significant loss of life and livestock. The state government has initiated large-scale rescue operations, deploying boats and helicopters to evacuate stranded villagers. Relief camps have been set up, and the government has promised financial aid and essential supplies to the affected families.
6. Create a dialogue between two sailors who have returned from different voyages.
Solution:
Sailor A: Welcome back! I see your ship reached the western ports. You look prosperous!
Sailor B: Indeed! The wind was our friend. We reached a rich country and traded all our goods. And you? You look exhausted.
Sailor A: My journey was a nightmare. We turned east, and the wind hunted us like a wild beast. We were stuck in captivity for months.
Sailor B: That sounds terrible. At least we both returned. I wonder about the third ship that went north.
Sailor A: I heard it’s still out there, sailing the unforgiving sea. It was rigged for a much longer journey than ours.
7. Discuss the theme of perseverance in the poem.
Solution: The central theme of the poem is perseverance, embodied by the third ship. While the first ship finds easy success and the second ship succumbs to hardship, the third ship deliberately chooses the most difficult path. It faces a sea that is "unforgiving" and "unfruitful," and it lacks the help of the wind. Yet, it is "rigged for a long journey." This suggests that true achievement or a meaningful "long journey" requires internal strength and the willingness to face darkness and frost without external help.
8. Explain the phrase "anchored in captivity" in the context of the second ship.
Solution: The phrase "anchored in captivity" suggests that the second ship's journey was cut short by forces beyond its control. The wind, acting like a predator, drove the ship into a situation where it could no longer move. Being "anchored" usually implies safety, but here it is paired with "captivity," meaning the ship was trapped or held against its will, unable to fulfill its purpose of sailing. It represents failure and the loss of freedom.
9. How does the poet use personification in the poem?
Solution: The poet uses personification to give nature human-like qualities, making the ships' struggles more dramatic. The wind is the primary personified element: it "possesses" the first ship and "hunts" the second ship "like a beast." The sea is described as "proud," and the sky "rises high and black" as if it is a conscious, threatening entity. This personification helps the reader visualize the journey not just as a physical trip, but as a struggle against powerful, living forces.
10. What is the significance of the ships returning "happily or unhappily"?
Solution: This phrase highlights the ordinary nature of the first two journeys. Whether they were successful (happy) or failed (unhappy), they were finite. They had an end point, and the ships returned to their starting place. This stands in stark contrast to the third ship, which does not return within the scope of the poem. Its journey is ongoing, "wide and far," suggesting that a truly great or purposeful journey is never really "finished" in the conventional sense.
11. Describe the setting of the third ship's journey in detail.
Solution: The setting for the third ship is bleak and majestic. It sails north into a "darkening sea" under a "high and black" sky. There is a total absence of wind ("no breath of wind"), which makes the sea "unfruitful" and "unforgiving." The environment is freezing, as evidenced by the "frostily" shining decks. Finally, the presence of a "fire-spilling star" adds a touch of surreal, intense light to this otherwise dark and cold landscape, creating a setting of extreme contrast.
12. Why does the poet repeat the line "And it was rigged for a long journey" at the end?
Solution: The repetition serves to emphasize the ship's readiness and its distinct destiny. By ending the poem with this line, the poet leaves the reader with the image of the third ship still moving forward. It reinforces the idea that this ship was built and prepared for something greater than the others. While the first two ships were subject to the whims of the wind, the third ship was designed for endurance, and its journey continues beyond the horizon.
13. How does the poem reflect the human experience?
Solution: The three ships can be seen as metaphors for different types of people or lives. The first ship represents those who find easy success through luck or favorable circumstances. The second ship represents those who are thwarted by misfortune and "hunted" by life's difficulties. The third ship represents the visionary or the determined individual who chooses a difficult, lonely path and prepares themselves for a long, arduous struggle toward a distant goal, regardless of the lack of immediate rewards.
14. Explain the grammatical transformation of "Run fast or you will be late" into a complex sentence.
Solution: The original sentence "Run fast or you will be late" is a compound sentence joined by the coordinating conjunction "or." To change it into a complex sentence, we need to introduce a subordinate clause. By using the conditional "If," we create a dependency: "If you do not run fast (subordinate clause), you will be late (principal clause)." This maintains the original meaning while changing the structural relationship between the two ideas.
15. What is the significance of the "lifting sea" in the first stanza?
Solution: The "lifting sea" suggests a sense of beginning, momentum, and rising tide. It captures the moment of departure when the ships are full of potential and the journey is just starting. It provides a rhythmic, moving backdrop to the start of the voyage, contrasting with the "quaking," "running," and "darkening" descriptions that follow as each ship meets its specific fate.
16. Discuss the use of color in the poem.
Solution: The poet uses color and light to evoke mood. The "morning sky" suggests hope and new beginnings. The "black" sky of the north and the "darkening sea" evoke fear, mystery, and the unknown. The "frostily" shining decks suggest a cold, silver-white brilliance, while the "fire-spilling star" introduces a vibrant, dangerous red or gold. These colors help differentiate the three journeys: the bright west, the turbulent east, and the stark, high-contrast north.
17. How does the poet contrast "happily" and "unhappily" in the fifth stanza?
Solution: By grouping "happily or unhappily" together, the poet suggests that for the first two ships, the emotional outcome is secondary to the fact that their journeys ended. Whether they succeeded (rich country) or failed (captivity), they both returned to the starting point. This contrast serves to isolate the third ship, whose journey is not defined by a simple happy or unhappy return, but by its ongoing, purposeful movement into the distance.
18. What does the "unforgiving sea" imply about the challenges faced by the third ship?
Solution: An "unforgiving" sea is one that allows no room for error. It implies that any mistake made by the crew of the third ship would result in disaster. Unlike the first ship, which was carried by the wind, the third ship faces a nature that is hostile and relentless. This heightens the reader's respect for the third ship's journey, as it is a test of pure skill, preparation, and will.
19. Explain the use of phrasal verbs in Activity 3 and their meanings.
Solution: Phrasal verbs are idiomatic expressions combining a verb and a particle. In the activity: (a) "Take after" means to resemble a family member in appearance or character. (b) "Bring out" means to publish or produce something for the public. (c) "Give up" means to stop doing something or to abandon a habit. These are essential for natural-sounding English and often replace more formal Latinate verbs like "resemble," "publish," or "abolish."
20. What is the ultimate message of the poem "The Three Ships"?
Solution: The ultimate message is that the most meaningful and enduring journeys are those taken with purpose and preparation, even in the face of extreme adversity. While luck (the first ship) or misfortune (the second ship) may dictate the lives of many, the "third ship" represents the human spirit's ability to forge its own path through the "unforgiving" and "darkening" aspects of life, aiming for a goal that lies "wide and far."

Para-by-Para Translation (English | Bengali)
Over the sea, the lifting sea,
And the wind rose in the morning sky,
And one was rigged for a long journey.
সমুদ্রের উপর দিয়ে, উত্তাল সমুদ্রের উপর দিয়ে,
আর সকালের আকাশে বাতাস উঠল,
এবং একটি জাহাজ দীর্ঘ যাত্রার জন্য সজ্জিত ছিল।

And by the wind was all possessed
And carried to a rich country.

Over the sea, the darkening sea,
But no breath of wind came forth,
And the decks shone frostily.
সমুদ্রের উপর দিয়ে, অন্ধকারময় সমুদ্রের উপর দিয়ে,
কিন্তু কোনো বাতাস বয়ে এল না,
এবং তার ডেকগুলি হিমশীতলভাবে চকচক করল।
Over the proud unfruitful sea,
East and west the ships came back
Happily or unhappily.
গর্বিত নিষ্ফলা সমুদ্রের উপর,
পূর্ব এবং পশ্চিমের জাহাজগুলি ফিরে এল
সুখেই হোক বা দুঃখেই হোক।
Into an unforgiving sea
Under a fire-spilling star,
And it was rigged for a long journey.
এক ক্ষমাহীন সমুদ্রের মধ্যে
একটি আগুন-ঝরানো তারার নিচে,
এবং এটি দীর্ঘ যাত্রার জন্যই সজ্জিত ছিল।

DEVASTATING FLOOD HITS MIDNAPORE
By a Staff Reporter | Midnapore, July 25
A devastating flood has hit several parts of Midnapore district following heavy rainfall over the last few days. Due to the continuous downpour, major rivers in the district are overflowing their banks, submerging dozens of villages.
The situation is critical as thousands of people have been rendered homeless. Reports indicate a significant loss of life and livestock. Rescue operations are currently in full swing, with the NDRF and local authorities working tirelessly to move stranded villagers to safer locations.

Class IX | Subject: Bliss (English) | Chapter: Blossom
Common Conceptual Mistakes & Pitfalls
| Common Mistake | Correct Understanding |
|---|---|
| Confusing the destination of the 1st and 2nd ships. | The 1st ship went West to a rich country. The 2nd ship went East and was anchored in captivity. |
| Thinking the 3rd ship failed because it faced an "unfruitful sea." | The 3rd ship represents perseverance. Unlike the others, it was "rigged for a long journey" and went "wide and far" despite having no wind. |
| Using the wrong tense in Phrasal Verbs (e.g., "He take after his father"). | Always match the tense of the original verb. "Resembles" (Present) → Takes after. "Published" (Past) → Brought out. |
| Using "when" instead of "than" in No sooner sentences. | The correct structure is: No sooner had [Subject] [Verb-3]... than [Subject] [Verb-2]. |
| Misinterpreting "The wind hunted it like a beast." | This is a Simile. It means the wind was aggressive and hostile toward the second ship, preventing its progress. |
