John Carney - Cape Town - 1787

13th October 1787

Ello leavin Rio now. Got lots of fresh food. The marines are getting about 30 times what I get. So far after Rio I got barely any fresh food. All I got was about one quarter of fresh bread. I also had some old food that I kept from before we were at Rio. Me belly is gettin hungry. I am staring at the marines food that he has. I am lookin foward to goin to some random place called Cape Town for all the good food. Lookin for the cow ,that came down to this level, so I can get a small bit of milk. By the way, we got some animals in Rio. We have just got to Cape Town. I heard some convicts on the Alexander tried to mutiny with pistols, knives and iron bars. While the marines were gone, I went up to the main deck. I looked around. This place is quite weird. I heard that the governor was not giving us much food. That means not much fresh food when we get going. Aurthor Phillop is demanding more food for the fleet. I am making a bit of noise and the marine came up and was so scared of the moving barrel. The marine shot the moving barel (which I am inside). Sadly I died but I can still see everything. I am a ghost. I know I was a ghost because I can not touch anything. The crew are coming back now. I am staying at the top deck because no one can see me.
