Elly's Ship Log

March 15 1530,

Weave just set sail and our on our way to the ''land of riches''. Hopefully we will get there soon. Oh and I have a secret , I am a girl and in case you have you have forgot girls are not allowed to sail. What I am frankly afraid of 'tis pain of death. Sir Jock is trying a new route.I have left everything in England to travel and I am not any ol' girl. I'm tough and don' mess with me or you'll be sorrow.It is time to go to dinner I must put on my breeches.

The Roanoke Island

Yesterday we learned about The Roanoke Island . This island had a normal colony like any other ruled by England. When some English explorers went to the island a year later there was no trace of any human civilization . To this day nobody knows where are why these people vanished. They sent more English settlers to live there and see if they would disappear but they didn't. People say the Natives drove them of. There is only one piece of evidence . On the surface of the island was a single word ''CROATOAN".
