To my long private friend,

    Ugh! I felt sick, I feel like I am about to vomit! I have only been on this trip for about 3 days now and the smell is horrific! I thought about it while I plugged my nose. I was in the middle of feeding time at the animals den when I heard a noise coming from the cask room as I wrote earlier in my entries to you, I had to have an excuse to get me to figure out what was going on—maybe I should use this time to go check it out, but what if I get caught! Yikes! I am thinking about going even though I want to find out what is happening...
     I had already gotten in trouble when I tripped over Agent Xıs foot, now Mr. X is furious because he said that I made him lose $100.00! Well, whatıs more important here, my cute little face or 100 dollars? I think my face but thatıs just me. I also think I should try to forget that and actually go to the cask room! I mean what if I actually find something really good and I can lead the crew to a safe voyage!
     Talk about awkward! Today I ran into Captain Fitzroy and he tried to read my head! I was just about to raise my eyebrow and then he was feeling my head! I was a bit scared with how he did it rubbing here and there; it felt like he was searching for ticks! But, thankfully he wasnıt! Iım not so good with ticks, they make me feel all gooey inside and it is gross. He said I had causality and constructiveness. Not sure what that means but Iıll ask him later!
     Off to work with Lucky.
