The foremast has developed a wide grainwise crack toward the base. We shall have to dock at Easter Island after all.
Several of the men are complaining about signs of scurvy setting in. Our food stores are just about out, and this storm shows no signs of letting up. We are rowing in four shifts now, and still we seem to be making little progress.
Only five of the fifty horses we brought with us have survived the journey, and two of those seem to have jaundice. We are keeping them separated from the others and grooming them twice daily.
Each night this journey seems to be worsening. I would that i were back in my sweet Jenny's arms, but instead by bed is cold and damp. I fear that the crew may be considering mutiny, but i don't know who would be heading it up. Perhaps Johnson, the cook?
There is no God. I am sick, and tired, and i wish we would reach land.
