Charlotte Doyle's Diary

DAY 5

 

 

I’ve been wearing my dress for four days. My gloves are gray instead of white. My hair is a mess. Even though I was a mess I still feel like a princess because I’m the only girl on the ship.

          The ship was moving slow, but I knew it would go faster, as soon as the wind came.

                   Today, Captain Jaggery did something unexpected in my case. He took my hand and kissed it. (I blushed) He wished that we would have more conversations during my trip. I was finally led to my trunk to get some fresh clothes. When I went to get my trunk at the bottom of the ship, the place stunk like rot. It was disgusting. I was surprised to find out there was a jail on the ship. The crewmember told me there were rats and roaches down there. I don’t like rats or roaches. They disgust me.

          I finally found my trunk with clothes inside it, wrapped in tissue paper. I talked to Mr. Barlow a little before he left me in there to get my clothes. Now I know where my clothes are I can get the clothes all by myself.

         I was sort of scared when Mr. Barlow left because I thought someone was watching me. I didn’t want to be alone down there. Shivers were creeping up my arms. I looked left and right but I saw nothing. I looked behind me. I saw a head with eyes. I was so scared I screamed. The next thing I knew the candle was out.
