Just dropping you a line, everything’s quiet now, crew’s in bed, night shift is on duty…
Landed in Dublin last week. What a dreary port, rains all the time! Right under the Unicate’s nose again, just like Captain likes it... was a prima getaway, too, you should have been there!
So we loaded some young sewer rats with the potatoes. Call themselves the ‘Donegal Troubles’, yes, I can see the ‘trouble’ bit. Wonder what the Unicate’s up to, hunting children again? Ace musicians though. Captain’s making them play a lot of what they call “Ceilidhs”, which is just an Irish way of saying, make lots of noise. Yoy, Katya, when that girl plays, Federi gets homesick. Remember I had a violin once?
And Captain had to hire one more. A very beautiful girl, but – Katya, you know how it goes. When things go wrong, who has to clean them up? That brings our head count to thirteen, don’t look at me like that, is not my fault! Is bad luck that!
Captain’s grandiose plans are getting bigger by the minute. But seriously, Katya, he’s taking too many risks now. I can’t see us surviving that long.
