Mysteriously missing passenger ship in a dream

In the summer of 1932, in a hospital in Ontario, Canada, a dying sailor named John Nobel suddenly begged the nurse to come near his bedside, saying in a faint voice that he had something to tell her. He claimed to be a sailor on the "Walletta", when the passenger ship was hit by a terrible storm that year, "Some of my colleagues tried to mutiny, but I refused to join." He later recounted how the ship suddenly tilted and sank, with the exception of him and a 10-year-old British girl. All but one of the rich girls were lost. Nobel said that he helped the girl swim hard, and the two finally made it to the east coast of London with difficulty... Before he finished speaking, John Nobel finally opened his mouth with difficulty and stopped breathing.

　　It is puzzling why Nobel did not report the circumstances of his distress in time? The accident site of the "Walletta" was in the waters of South Africa, and Nobel said that he helped the little girl to the east coast of London with difficulty. The two places are separated by the vast Atlantic Ocean, and the straight-line distance is 6,430 nautical miles. How did he swim there? Nothing can be explained. However, through this incident, people are reminded of another person: a British passenger named Claude Sonnar.

　　Sonar is an experienced traveler. He has a height of 1.8 meters, a strong body, two piercing blue eyes, and likes to ask why for everything. Traveling on the "Walletta" was the 13th ocean liner he had taken. Before leaving, his wife reminded him that 13 was an unlucky number and told him to be more careful when he went out. Sonar just smiled and didn't take it seriously. The passenger ship "Walletta" is a new ship. Its second voyage sailed from London, England to Australia. When it returned, it arrived safely at the port of Durban, South Africa. Sonar suddenly left the ship ahead of schedule. He had planned to return to London to reunite with his wife's family, but he had the same strange nightmare three nights in a row during the voyage. He dreamed that he was leaning on the railing to enjoy the sea view, when he suddenly saw a figure in blood-stained medieval armor jumping out of the sea, holding a long glowing sword in his left hand, and a blood-stained piece in his right hand. Sail fragment, he opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't hear anything, watching his mouth change as if he were saying "Valletta! Valletta!" Then, as suddenly as he appeared, he disappeared into the waves ghostly.

　　Sonnar was clearly aware that the nightmare foreshadowed something horrific. He recorded this dream, which appeared three times in a row, in his travel diary, and told his dream to the passengers in the same cabin out of kindness, but others just laughed it off. Amid the laughter of the crowd, Sonnar disembarked early on the evening of July 26 of this year. When the white side and blue chimney of the passenger ship completely disappeared into the night, Sonnar found a telegraph office that was open at night and sent a telegram to his wife through the submarine cable at the time: "Walletta may be overloaded, under Durban."

　　The "Walletta" is a scheduled passenger liner built by the famous Barkley Cole shipyard in 1908 for the round-trip route from the United Kingdom to Australia. It has a total length of 465 feet and a displacement of 9,340 tons. It is a scheduled passenger ship. The second voyage left the Port of London on April 27, 1909, and arrived safely in Australia. When returning, only a small number of passengers turned back to the United Kingdom. With a total of 211 crew members. At 9 o'clock that night, shortly after Sonar's departure, the "Walletta" was guided by a lighthouse on the hills of Cape Natal to turn right and sail southwest along the coast of South Africa. The sea was calm all night and the night sky was starry. At about 6 o'clock in the morning the next day, the passenger ship happened to pass the "Crane Mointelli", an irregular freighter traveling on the same route. The two ships met and greeted each other with signals: "Happy voyage." The "Valletta" also replied: "Thank you, happy voyage, goodbye." This goodbye was the last word people received from the "Valletta".

　　On July 29, Sonnar was lying in a hotel in Durban and had another dream he had had during the voyage. He woke up from the dream and calculated that the "Walletta" should arrive at the port of Cape Town today. Curiously, he called the port and got the answer that all the people who cared about the "Walletta" were anxiously waiting for news of it. Sonnar couldn't help but feel horrified and shuddered after hearing this. He involuntarily got down on his knees, folded his hands, and silently prayed that people were safe.

　　The port also quickly dispatched the "Fuller" and a tugboat to search east along the coast. After receiving the order, the Royal Navy quickly dispatched the battleship "Ford" stationed in Durban to search around together with the cruiser "Athletic God" and a patrol boat from Cape Town. A week later, two ships sailing along the coast of South Africa reported that there were countless vultures gathered over the mouth of the Bashi River, and there may be floating corpses on the water, but the waves were rolling at the time, and it was impossible to confirm what was floating. When the sea conditions are good, there is nothing on the sea surface.

　　In 1954, an Englishman named Frank Prince told authorities that one day at the end of July 1909, a South African Boer had seen a large ship teetering in a storm at sea, and he had illegally recovered from the Bashi River. Large quantities of jewelry and diamonds. Fearing breaking diamond laws, the Boers threatened Prince with sharp swords that he must keep secrets until his death.

　　More than 80 years later, the "Walletta" may still lie alone somewhere in the depths of the ocean, and people may never know its secrets.
