Dear Diary,
   You seem to have shown up. When I was pushed into the wormhole I couldn't have you, and now you suddenly turn up at my bedside table! I am just fine, and I am happy on this ship, too. It is a nice place referring to the rats. I am the companion to Fuegia Basket. It is nice to have a friend that you can be with. My day started at six o'clock in the morning. Fuegia and I woke at the same time today as usual. We did each other's hair. It was fun and then we put on a slight bit of make up, got dressed and went to have a small, but nice breakfast.
   After breakfast we went to visit Janis. Until recently, I thought she was a boy, but when we were talking she told us to keep it a secret that she was a girl—although, it was obvious that she was a girl. Boys' faces aren't like girls. She told us that when she was chasing the main pig she fell over Agent X's foot. He was mad at her. Mr. X is well—weird. I am afraid of him. He even plays with a gun! I dare not tell mother.
   Anyway, Janis says that it is hard to watch over all the animals and her dog at the same time! She asked us if we could help out. I told her we would have to change into something less good. I had an already soiled dress that I brought for this sort of matter and put it on. I gave another one I brought to Fuegia since she didn't have one.
   When we came back, Janis said that we could help feed the animals, and help her with one of the sheep who was having diarrhea. Fuegia said that where she used to live (she is from an island, I think) they gave their sheep an herb that turned out to be thyme. We got it from Aliaranel and dropped off some dung. How happy she was about some dung! We gave the herb back to Janis and she mixed it with the sheep's feed. It worked! No diarrhea was to be seen for the whole day.
   After twenty minutes, I told her that we were going to have to leave. It was nine thirty and we were due at the Uncle's cabin at ten! We washed and got changed and everything to find that we were ten minutes early and were early. I told Uncle about the things we saw on the ship. In about two days of time we will be near land! It was another thing that I have noticed—Mr. Darwin has been coming onto deck looking out at sea, shaking his head and going back to his cabin. It happens three times a day...once at sunup, then at noon, and then at sundown. The reason for this Uncle said was that he was looking to see if we could go in a little boat to shore. I guess he wants to get off the boat and walk on dry land and study plant life and wildlife.
   Mr. Darwin caught a bird to day! It was our delight to find it was a pelican and we wanted to study this type of pelican. It is a rare one! Since it was injured, I brought it to Janis. She said it will be alright and just scratched its wing.
   It was time for lunch. Rat stew was on the menu, with a couple of hard tacks. Not gourmet food, but it did the trick. Then we spent the rest of the day reading and playing games in our cabin, stopping only for dinner.
