and inviting other ships on board for Christmas day. Even<br />
the pirates invited us to celebrate with them after they shot<br />
at us and we reminded them what day it was! Everyone in<br />
the ocean who celebrates Christmas is holding celebrations<br />
with other ships. The pirates, the Spanish, you name it,<br />
everyone is celebrating their December holidays and<br />
inviting other ships to join them.<br />
We gave each other gifts made of all sorts of things and the<br />
cook is making us classic Christmas foods. Every ship we<br />
meet is celebrating. There are banquets, gift-givings, you<br />
name it. Update: We are counting down to the new year.<br />
January 1 1900<br />
It is New Year’s Day and we’re celebrating it on a ship! We’re<br />
doing whatever we can to celebrate New Year’s Day on a<br />
ship. All of the ships that celebrate the new year are<br />
celebrating New Year’s Day!<br />
January 3 1900<br />
We have been attacked by pirates and they are tying<br />
crewmates to the masts. Update: They have looted the ship<br />
with the exception of personal belongings that they have<br />
let us keep, tied my crewmates to the masts, destroyed the<br />
ship, and are burning the ship with the crew still aboard.<br />
Second update: We have been stranded on a deserted<br />
island with a barrel of rum, some fresh lemons, and food.<br />
We have found a cave to live in.<br />
January 4 1900<br />
Today, I found my first mate, DEAD, and when I checked on<br />
my powder monkey, he looked extremely traumatized, and<br />
said that the pirate who stranded us killed the first mate<br />
and didn’t realize that the powder monkey was watching<br />
the whole thing. So the pirate told the boy to never tell<br />
anyone again. Tonight I will stay awake, while pretending to<br />
sleep, in order to see what happens and act accordingly.<br />
Update: The pirate has returned, this time with his friends,<br />
and has tied the powder monkey up in a cage with wild<br />
lions.<br />
January 5 1900<br />
I have buried the bodies and have come to the conclusion<br />
that this island isn't deserted after all! There wasn't enough<br />
wind to have a ship, there were no horse noises, and it's too<br />
rocky for a bicycle, so they must’ve walked here from<br />
civilization. I need to see this civilization. But I need a way to<br />
get there with my provisions. I can roll the barrels, but I can't<br />
roll wooden crates.<br />
