John Ward - Cape Town - 1787

13TH October 1787

Hallo here I am Cape Town, South Africa. This time I believe we're at Africa. I just got hit with an iron bar yesterday when we had a mutiny but the marines stopped us and 2 people died by a pistol and 1 died by knife and 11 were injured. The governor is only giving us three day's worth of bread and fruit and vegtables the captain asked for more but the said no. It's so cramped with all the animals especially with 3 bulls and 2 pigs and all the other stuff is on the other ships. Also it's so loud and you can bearly get any sleep at all and now there's now place to sit and eat your food. But the clothes aren't getting any better only more itchy. It is not very warm here.
