Roanoke Dairy

Date: June 22 1587
Event: Colonists land at Santa Cruz
Perspective: Colonist


We colonists are in pain, Carrying huge turtles. The meat from the turtles wasn’t the best food. But we ate it. I don’t know if we will ever make it back to England. It’s hard to sail and protect the ship. The crew is sick from the evil water. Including my friend. The crew have there lips, eyes, and tongues swollen, most of them anyway. It’s so sad that my friend is sick and I can’t do anything about it. What can we do? He can’t die. I will not let that happen.
