11:45pm--- .....The rumbling in the distance is not thunder. Mr. Rhodes, the baker in town, escaped to tell us that pirates from the ship "Inferno" have attacked the town and are headed to the outlying areas in search of gold and treasure. I'm so scared. I hope that none of those horrid creatures come here. We've been hearing for the last few months that the pirate ships "Inferno" and "Ramage" are ransacking towns up and down the coast, like sharks, coming in for the kill.
The're breaking through our fences and gate. Father had us hide in the old pump house, about 1/4 mile from the house. This place smells, like something died in here. The sounds of thunder are getting louder. Mother, Lizzie and I were brought here by Father and the male servants of the house for our protection. I wish that I was a man so that I could help Father protect our home. Not that I would be much help. I'm so frightened. Father says I have spirit and that I'm too strong-willed for my own good. The noise is exploding in my ears. I do hope Father and the other men are alright. Is there to be no end to this frightening horror.
