Sailor JG

Today I woke up & was late for my watch. Caiptain Cook punished me with twenty strokes of the cat-o'-nine tails & he stuck metal on the end. I had cold, red blood running down my sore, bruised, scarred back. It was painful and I was dodging lunch because those ship biscuits are rotten & maggots and rats have been doing their business on them. I eat other sailors dinner. Scrubbing the decks are gross but more fun than other jobs. I hate my living conditons & yesterday I snuck into the captains room, but I got punished badly.
