Arrival In The New World
Baron Britpop Blastfurnace • Part 23
Arrival In The New World
We had been at sea for seven weeks. For several days the Captain had allowed me to borrow his spyglass to search for land. Every day I spent hours scanning the horizon. Then one morning, it happened. I spotted land. A small island. Nothing more than a long sand bar with some vegetation, but it brought unmeasurable joy to my heart. I now believed we may yet survive the crossing.
“Andelbert!” I shouted as I grabbed his arm. “Land!”
“May I see?” He replied.
I handed him the glass and pointed the direction to look. It took a little effort to find it, but then he let out a cry of joy.
Andelbert’s excitement brought Jonas over to investigate.
“We’ve spotted land,” Andelbert said.
Jonas immediately ran to the mast and climbed up to the crow’s nest.
“Land ho!” He shouted. Causing many of the other sailors to also let out whoops of joy. One of the crew ran and told the Captain. He appeared on deck a few minutes later.
