Comments:

I read another 100 pages of the book Stowaway. In this hundred pages not much changed from before. They were still looking for the new continent. This book is very exciting and interesting.
Nick and his friends where still looking for the new continent, but there was no sign of a new continent. The crew only found some other small island with natives. The natives have changed and the are not very nice anymore. The crew could not trade or speak with them because they have a different language. Not even Tarheto could understand them. Nick and the crew had some fights with the natives and once Nick's friend Tarheto got kidnapped from the natives. The natives pretended to trade and then they pulled the friend to their canoe. The crew took their guns and Nick thought it was the last time that he saw Tarheto, but as smart as he was he jumped out of the canoe and another 3 natives got killed. Tarheto did not speak anything that day because he was still scared. The natives have never seen a ship or guns. Some of the natives on the island don't even have clothes. Therefore they are very scared. The Captain of the ship drew everything they covered and drew the new islands as well. On the map that they brought from England they could see that the english people had no idea how many islands are out there. They still did not find the new continent.
