On Sunday, we made first tide and began the second leg of our journey to free young Samuel. Surprisingly, though I’d been on ships many times and had never been sick, the constant rolling and pitching of the Adventure caused me to run to the privy bucket every morning without fail. Sarah, following my instructions, brewed me a tea of ginger and chamomile, which helped and made it possible for me to keep some food down.

Each day, Micah was up at dawn and did not return to the cabin until well past sunset. Initially, he came back exhausted and practically fell asleep before finishing his evening meal. But soon, he adjusted to the workload and sat up late with us, telling stories of the crew and what the world looked like from the lofty crow’s nest.

I was called upon several times during the voyage to tend to the crew. At first some of the men looked upon me with suspicion and it was common to see them make the sign of the cross when I was out on deck. But as my ministrations produced results, their fears faded and they grudgingly accepted my company.

As for my health, I continued to suffer from seasickness and could not wait for the voyage to end. I tried everything I knew of to calm my stomach, but nothing seemed to work. Thus, I was glad when, on the sixth day of our voyage, the Adventure docked in Charles Town Harbor.
