MY VOYAGE TO AMERICA

Dear diary,
The year is 1892. sarah and i leave on the steam ship to America. We have been told the trip was to be 14 days or longer. But it seems as if it were months down here in this dark place i cannot see anyhing but to feel my wife always next to me. The smell is just horrid. As if someone died and no one has noticed. there are rats on board. but it is always silent here just few every now and thn erruptions of cougs orcry of hunger. because you see on this trip you were to make sure you bring your own supplies of food and othr materials. god its cold in here all to do is be close to sarah. on the 11th day our bag of food is stolen in the middle of the niht .sarah and i are hunry but we are without none to eat.Finally we made it were finally here. But now we get off and all i see is lines of people. americans hounding quetions at us .Ellis island what they called it
