William Cherry, 1858
Howdy. If you're reading this it means someone must have found my journal. If you read through this small book, you'll find it's the story of someone who was stuck (me, in case you were wondering).
I was hungry for some excitement, adventure, or someplace I could prove my worth to the world. So, I set out to where I'd heard my wishes were not only possible, but probably: The Sea. But word of advice: If you ever hear the sea calling, maybe think things through long and hard before you answer.
So, here's my story. I hope you like it, because these pages meant an awful lot to me.
