Hello again! It's been a while since i last saw you. So I think I'll dive right into the story for once, without a long and tedious introduction. That ok? Yes good. Then let's got on with it.

"That's right, it takes more than that to get rid of me!" I yelled, watching the looks on their faces change. The expressions varied from enraged to relieved. I took a step back as I saw the sailor who had thrown me overboard begin to take a step towards me. I had no wishes to be tossed again. I might not be so lucky next time. The man came ever closer though and I had nowhere left to go. Luckily the captain intervened. "Stop it man! What do yo think you're doing?!" he yelld, seemingly furious. Apparantly he hadn't wanted me swimming with the fish. "That boy is a member of our crew and you will treat him like you would anyone else!" the captain ordered. The drunk, old, seadog who had thrown me overboard looked like he wanted to argue, but decided better of it and merely shot his leader a venemous glance.

After that the rest of the journey went smoothly. Admittedly the air was filled with tension at times, but I atlest remained on the vessel. As the days passed we came ever closer to our destination and finally one morning we arrived.

I awoke that morning not to a shout, but to the feeling that something was different. The ship didn't seem to be rocking as much as usual. Wiping the tiredness from my eyes I climbed out onto the deck and froze. Where for months we had been surrounded by the sea, one side was now land, covered in buildings. Was this it? Was I finally in France? Yes I was. It was time to continue my search.



Sorry for not posting for so long, I've been ill (and still am) and have had a lot of school work. I'll try to upload more regularly again now though. Bye!
