I awoke to commotion and found Aliaranel by me shaking me awake.
   "Hurry!" she said, "Come with me!". Then, she lead me to the deck where there was a spout of water. It was reaching to the sky, and not coming down. Aliaranel said "It's heading toward us." Then, suddenly, the wind shrieked, and blew so hard it was hard to walk.
   Suddenly screams, shouts, and noises of animals were heard. Aliaranel and I were separated.
   "Help! Help me!" I shrieked as the thing drew nearer.
   Aliaranel's voice was shouting "Mary, MARY!".
   I screamed "Where are you?!"
   She screamed "By the captains' cabin! Everybody's here!"
   I could not answer and it was so hard to walk. I was suddenly blown off my feet as a gust of wind tore though the sky like a shrieking spirit. Lightening and thunder joined the storm with all the rain the clouds could possibly throw into the sea. I grabbed a barrel as I was blown past it.
   Then Aliaranel's voice screamed, "MARY, MARY, MMMMMAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYY!!!".
   I struggled to my feet and fought my though the storm as best I could when a board nearly threw me off the ship.
   "HHEEEEEEEELLLLLPPP MMMMEEEE!!" I screamed. I tried again to reach the cabin succeeding in keeping the distance that I walked behind me. I managed to reach it before I was blown off deck. I realized I was as wet as a person who almost drowned. A surging pain my arm and I felt so cold that I was shivering uncontrollably.
   Today am better but still can't walk. I am the nearest to the fire below deck. I can't write any more.

Love,         
Mary
