17th June, 1915
I am very excited to be a part of this journey. The whole journey is led by Steffanson, who always believed that there is a continent hidden under the ice of Artic. With us on board, there is Scott, who failed to be the first one to reach the South Pole. The ship 'Endurance', which we were boarded on was made up of mostly wood. It was more overly designed for hunting whales.
The sudden change in the temperature rise gave us a huge chill. There was a thick layer of ice above the Weddell Sea and soon we were stuck at the exact location where the 'Jeanette' had crashed due to the layering of ice sheets.
Many days passed away, but the cold and no food led us to unbearable situations. As soon as Steffanson knew something was wrong and he had to escape from the ship, he made an excuse telling us that he would bring us some food. I was pretty sure, he was lying. How can someone find food in the sea? There may fishes but there are chances that they are frozen. It was unimaginable that a caring person would do this just to protect himself.
When the ice broke into pieces, a large sound which was created, made me be the true and real hero of the abandoned ship. Later, Steffanson never cared about us. The future is always unpredictable, sometimes things may go wrong. I have no idea if I may survive or not, but I'll still be the hero of the ship. I think I should use my leftover energy ahead. Goodbye! See you soon.
