John Cuss - Tenerife - 1787

3rd June,1787

Its been quite a while sins ive wrote infact its been such a bad time that ive not been able to do anything thats fan. We recently went to a place called Tenerife me think its one of the canary islands. Ive been lucky so far, every where I look theres disease and disaster but the whether has been good me think its hard to tell me only get to go up on the bloomen deck once a day. It was like that for twenty-one days but when we docked it got so much worse, but i made a new china plate called Sam and one of the people from another group tride to escape but they was grabed put in solatry confinement. He was lucky that his mate didn't have to wip him.When we had been doked for a fue days we got a treat we got some fresh fruit but some people were stealing other peoples food so Sam and I stayed out of their way.
