Tuesday/title:Blood on the River, chapter 15/ pgs:115-122,min:14
Samuel watched the Discovery ship and the gentlemen loading supplies on to it. A guy said that he'd shoot the people in the fort but the other man said that he died before he could reload and others might die too. Samuel heard the doors of the fort open, there were Indians there. There was only one man that wasn't Indian but not white. It was Captain Jack Smith! He told the men to aim the canons at the ship and he yelled to them that they ether gave them the loads back or be sunken. They asked him that where were Jehu Robinson and Thomas Emry. Smith told them that they were dead, captured by the Indians. Strangely, they gave up easily. They were on the rowboats returning the supplies. After they did the men just stayed in the Discovery, ether they were making a plan or who knows. Everybody was asking Smith on his adventures, he told them that he tell them later after breakfast. He told them that he was captured by the Indians, the ones that brought him to the fort and they are waiting patiently at the doors. He told them that they took him to their leader, Chief Powhatan. They were gonna chop his head off but a little girl told them no and hugged Smith. He promised them two canons. He almost forgot, the canons. He told the Indians that those two canons were for them. Samuel was surprised, he wouldn't trade swords or guns but he would trade canons. The Indians tried to move the canons but they were heavy. Smith told him that he would give them something lighter. They walked with many jewels and beads that were equal amount. At that moment Smith was arrested again for the lives of Jehu and Thomas. Master Archer said that it was the Hammurabi rule, an eye for an eye, a life for a life. Archer said that he was to protect them but he let them die. Smith did a big fuss but they one. When Archer wasn't looking,Samuel through a roach at him and he wanted to punching again and again but Smith told him that to make that his strength not his weakness. He had to contains it but it was too much so Samuel went for Archer.
