39. The Ship

(On the ship, John). He had just said goodbye to the love of his life and was heading on a four month journey with only a slim chance of survival. As they left the cove and headed

to the open ocean he saw a figure and a cliff. he knew who it was. Pocahontas was saying goodbye, and he waved to her in her native costume. He was sad to leave her behind,

but her place was with her people. He watch her until he couldn't see the shore at all. Then he finally looked around. Everyone was busy at work, all except one. "Where's

Thomas?" he didn't see him any were. No one could look him in the eye. "where is he?" Lon was the only one to speak. "Thomas isn't here, John." "What do you mean he isn't

here? Where else could he be?" he was trying to sit up and Lon had to gently push him back down. "He decided to stay."
