We have arrived a the Persian Gulf, although it wasn't in any way an easy trip. It took over 18 months to cross the South China Sea, pass Indonesia, round the tip of India, and reach safe harbor in the Persian Gulf. It was a treacherous journey, and only 18 of the 600 that sailed off with us in China survived. Luckily, my father, uncle, and I all survived. I cannot wait to get home.
Many of our ships sank and many men died at sea. |
