canada.? I, Captain Sweety Trueblood, was appointed my King Francis 1 to go on an exploration finding wealth and a route to Asia. He has gifted me with 4 ships, and 70 crewmen aboard each. These fine gentlemen are exuberant to go, for they hope to be rich.
With enough supplies to sustain our crew and animals, we will certainly succceed in finding the vast Asia. As we see it, if we venture in the ocean for not too long, we will evidently hit the mark.
It has been 8 weeks, through storm and through thunder, all 280 crewmen are healthy, but our supplies are depleting. Alas, we have sited land. Vast forests can be seen, as we cross a long river. Amidst our view, there are half-naked men spearing fish with long spear- like stick.
These men are bellowing strange sounds. We try to communicate by signalling that we want to go on land, but they wouldn’t have it. They ran to their little hut-like structures and brought out drums, dancing wildly and expressing joy. Bewildered, we took out a goat, and threw it in the water. Baahaha! Bahhaa! It tried to swim. The Indians, curious of the animal, tried to get a closer look. We decided to inch our way away from them. No sooner did they bring out their small boats covered in fur, we decided to use force.
I demanded my comrades to shoot a bullet to try to frighten them, we didn’t know if the they wished to do harm, even though they seem to be embracing us with open arms.
The next day, they showed us some beautiful beaver skins, so soft and expensive. We must send some back to France. Trading with these men has been very giving on our side.. these men literally
gave the furs on their backs to us.
