This is the story about the race of two ships.
I think this story is like "USAGI TO KAME(Rabbit and Turtle)" of Japanese story.
British ship is confident, so it's rabbit.
Norwegians ship is hostile, so it's turtle.
As a result, Norwegians won, and I also thought so.
Because people who do hard to win can

give good results.
But I was sad and unhappy that finally some British had died.
