Thursday/tiltle:Blood on the River, chapter 8/pgs:52-62,18

Samuel was tired and sick. He laying beside Richard and James. James asks him if they are gonna die. Samuel said that they were, so James make a scary noise and Samuel got angry and punched him in the face. They started to fight but Smith held Samuel back and changed him to chains that he was in. Smith told Samuel to stand one one leg, he couldn't. Smith also pushed him slightly and Samuel fell. With the ocean currents moving and Smith pushing him, it was mostly impossible. Samuel sat there, by 12 minutes he had to use the bucket for #2. He didn't wasn't to ask James but he didn't want to spoil his good clothes. He had no choice, he asked Smith but he was his master. All Samuel could rely on was James. James did give it to him but Samuel had to say sorry. The ships have reached it's destination, the soon to be the new world. The men grabbed their shovels and headed out. Smith told him to make housed and crops first but Newport said they have to mine the gold first and they go home early. Smith told them that he came to the island to explore and expand England. So they all started back to the ships to gather supplies. Samuel heard a cry, it came from the Island. It was two guys that had been shot from the Indians. One guy had been shop in both hands and the other had been shot twice in the torso with arrows. The sailors had pumped up their muskets but it was too slow and the Indians got away.
