John Ward - Tenerife - 1787

3rd June,1787

HALLO! here I am at Tenerife inside the Alexander eating my pork stew with some bread half done.Once im done I have to go take out the slops. I never have done it but me mate Nick said it is terrable. It took 21 days to get here. We've been here for 7  days and were leaving tomorrow after breakfast. Its pretty hot today id  its say 30 dicrease its been hot all week. 8 people died on the way here and one me mate Vaughn he died of scurvy on the 18 day of the journey. It was pretty hard to get here espeally when we go to the toilet also like I said me mate died. The conditions are foul  becuase weve got no fresh air. I heard were nere africa but i don 't beleave it because were in Tenerife not Africa.
