Dear Diary,
We are sent to travel to Roanoke in North America by Walter Raliegh. Before us he sent some others to explore but they were not very successful so they returned and now it is our turn. I am excited and scared to travel to this place I have never been before. I feel like something might go wrong, but who knows, we are skilled. What I am thankful for is that I get to travel there with my ma and pa and also Captain John White. I hear he is a great captain and explorer. Well we are just about to board. Wish me the best of luck.

We just hit shore and I am very happy that we made it. It was an ok sail but some fell ill but most recovered. I am glad we were prepared. I love all the colors, green, blue, orange, all very beautiful. We are going to set up camp first then we are going to have a dinner of our arrival. We have made it this far.

Our captain, John White is leaving to get more supplies as we are running low. I am worried something might happen without him. I hope he returns as quickly as possible.

It has been a long, long time and John White has not returned. Oh, I hope he is ok. We need him. I think I may have spotted Indians outside sneaking around and I am very scared. We were instructed to stay inside and if we heard the bell we were to hide. I heard someone scream. I heard the bell. I must hide. I just heard multiple screams, getting closer and closer. I think they are two houses, maybe one house away. I just heard someone walk in. I hope I survive, but if I don’t make it out alive I want you to know I
...............WHen John White returned he found the word CROATON. We haven't found out what relly happened to them. They left the word CROATON. We still wonder today what might have happened to them.
