I herd a yell today from the deck, so I ran from my captains quarters onto the stern deck of the ship. I looked through my telescope and saw islands with jagged peaks. They looked hunched over as if they were suffering people. I named these island Los Martires which is Spanish for the martyrs. Also today three people in my crew got scurvy and two others have a mystery illness and are now vomiting uncontrollably. I think they will die in the next three days. In order to prevent scurvy within the rest of the crew I started to distribute some of the very large, and very orange tangerines that I found in Florida.
