The Girl and Her Dagger - June 22, 1832
Our voyage has begun, Charlotte has been sick for a few days, high fever, but that's normal during seasickness. She's all better today and I invited her for tea, of course, she came. She was very impressed with my cabin, the ship being so grungy and all. We talked and I told her she would be fine sisters with little Victoria. Oh, how I miss them. It has been months since the last time I saw her. I wonder how the two of them are holding up. Before I left, her mother, Ann, had a high fever, and I truly felt horrible leaving, especially with a five-year-old to take care of! After this journey, I'll finally have a small amount of time to go back to England and visit them.
But back to Charlotte. I told her she could roam the boat and talk and read to the crew. With how proper and ladylike she is, the crew should gain some civility. They better not mention Cranick... I wonder if he's back. She said I remind her of her father, I take that as high praise. I told her all about round robins, my gun cabinet, and the safety of our boat...I trust her, it's not like she's going to lead the crew in a mutiny and plan to try to steal my guns or anything. She also has a very expensive dagger, which she says the man who brought her to Seahawk gave her, but she hesitated... I wonder if Zachariah gave it to her, I think she has "befriended" him after all, even though she denies it. Zachariah is a very persuasive man.
