III. Cloze   (20 points)
I’d meant to go to Miros that day. I’d packed my bag and was ready. The motor-boat    36     in on time. The sky was cloudy, but the wind wasn’t too strong for the two-hour     37    . I stood at my window, staring at the boat. Then I lost     38     of her, an old light-house partly blocked my view of the harbour. A dozen passengers were     39     their way there. I was about to join them---when a man’s face     40     at the light-house window.
This was strange, because the light-house had been empty, unused and     41     for thirty years. It was stranger still---because I’d seen that     42     before. I couldn’t place it but it was, or had once been, familiar to me. I opened my window and     43     across.
“I know we’ve met before, but I can’t remember where.”
I     44     him to open his if he could and answer me. He did neither. The face behind the glass     45     motionless. Seeing him more clearly now, I knew he was not looking at me. He seemed to be looking upwards,     46     the clouds. How well I’d known that face, sometime, somewhere!
I     47     again. “We met years ago. Was it in Athens in the 1950s? I used to live in Plaka.”
He didn’t reply nor give any     48     that he’d heard. I went back further, to     49     I was in the navy.” Perhaps we met at sea during the war,” and that thought at once     50     him to mind. Commander Leftis! He was Commander Leftis of course! How could I have forgotten? I’d saved his life once. But surely he…
The motor-boat     51     her bell. I turned my eyes. The wind had risen, but she was pulling.     52    . Laughing, I called, “Now I’ve missed her, and it’s your     53    , Commander!’
As the boat drew away, the face at the window faded.     54     minute it was there, looking up. I could see the whites of the eyes. The     55     it was gone.
Well, I didn’t rush to the light-house. I knew that Leftis was dead. He died at sea in 1963 or ’64. But there’s one other thing I ought to tell you: the motor-boat never reached Miros. It was lost in a storm, with all the passengers.
