Friday/title:Blood on the River, chapter 9/pgs:63-74,20

After supper Samuel goes to Smith to ask him if they will have war. Smith said that they wouldn't if they traded their stuff and befriended the Indians. There was a box that the Virginia Company had to say who were the leaders. No one was surprise that Captain Wingfield was one of them but the last person surprised them all, it was Captain John Smith. Master Wingfield put up a big fuss about Smith being a leader. That he was still under arrest but Smith knew that later they will be begging for advice. In a morning Samuel heard a man shout Wingapo. Samuel knew what that meant because Smith told him that it meant greetings. They both had long bows so they thought the Indians were enemies but they had baskets. They traded it for some glass beads ans some bronze. Like about every day they come and trade but some people think they are really spying to know were they are and how many people. Men said that they should make a fort but Smith told them that it would make the Indian think that they were enemies.
