Phebe Flarty-Cape Town-1787

13th October 1787

G'day, Phebe Flarty here! T'day I'm in this place called Cape Town in South Africa! Apparently it's ruled by this Dutch person, but let me tell yu... he's not a nice one. He's  only giving us three days worth of bread but the captain is goin to talk to the Governor tomorrow! On the way over here there was this really thick kind of fog that sort-of reminds me of England. I can't Adam and Eve that the old-looking Dutch guy isn't lettin us poor convicts a decent amount of food! Now if you're the kind for some exitement do I have a story for you... now listen closely 'cause I overheard one of the marines say that over on the Alexander there was a muteny! Maybe if we all work together we could have a muteny, then we could finaly go up on deck when we want or we could have one of those fancy cabins or if we're lucky we could have ten times our weekly rasions! Oh that would be gr8! Maybe later. Well that's it from me...Bye ;)
