Candide: Ships
built 655 days ago
Candide continued alone on his journey. A dishonest ship’s captain stole Candide’s last sheep and jewels, leaving the traveler once again miserable and destitute. Nevertheless, together with a new traveling companion, Martin, who had a little money, Candide sailed for Venice. En route, they came upon a Dutch and a Spanish ship at battle. As the Dutch ship was sinking Candide learned it was the ship of the rogue who had stolen his sheep. Miraculously, he was able to recover one of the jewel-laden animals before the ship went down.

While on the ship to France, Candide and Martin witness the destruction of the ship which carried the stolen red sheep. Candide recovers one sheep from the sinking vessel. For the remainder of the voyage, Martin and Candide argue about philosophy, and Martin relates his negative opinions of Paris and the various provinces of France.

The old philosopher, whose name was Martin, took shipping with Candide for Bordeaux. Both had seen and suffered a great deal, and had the ship been going from Surinam to Japan round the Cape of Good Hope, they could have found sufficient entertainment for each other during the whole voyage, in discoursing upon moral and natural evil.
