1) The captain decides to sail, despite the narrator’s fears.
2) He feels uneasy and can't sleep, so he goes up on deck at midnight. He hears a loud, humming noise.
3) All of a sudden, the sea grows angry, and big waves overtake the ship. Luckily, the ship lifts from the sea and regains her right position. He is surprised to see the foaming ocean around him.
4) He soon discovers that he is only one of two survivors of the shipwreck. The other survivor is a Swede, who shipped with them just as they left port. All the other members of the crew die and are swept out to sea.
5)They see the ship isn't badly damaged. They sail at high speed for five days and nights. On the fifth day, the sun gives out no light. The weather is very cold and extremely windy.
6) OK
7) Their ship sinks when it is hit by the other ship. The Swede dies, and the narrator is thrown on board the unknown ship. When he sees the sailors, he soon feels a sense of fear.
