Captain finally found a carpenter and a cook, actually. Two Italian brothers, actually, Paolo and Cristobal Magarelli. Paolo is the carpenter and speaks almost no
English, Cristobal is a classically trained chef who speaks English quite
well. Mr. Durkus calls him Christendom
because he can’t remember his name. We
pick up our new cargo the day after tomorrow and then we sail back to
England. I imagine we will take a couple
of ships on our way, spices don’t take up very much space.
Barney hasn’t returned for the night, I worry about the
boy. Many of our crew have been taken by
the Fielding Twins on this ridiculous filthy spit of an island. Barney is likely too young to fall to their
feminine trickery, but he did buy a flower from and for a pretty girl
yesterday. She was easily three years
his senior. Perhaps I should be
concerned for our cabin boy. If he doesn't return in a couple of hours I’ll take Cooper and go out looking for him.
