Dear Diary,
This is torment. I cannot comprehend how these sailors endure this life. I long for distraction.
In desperation I rapped upon the Captain's cabin door. He opened it and peered at me suspiciously.
"Captain, excuse my interuption, but I long for a book. Can you assist me?"
His eyes widened briefly and then he winced.
"I know life at sea can be very lonely," he sighed, "but I am sorry, you are not my type."
He went to close the door but then paused,
"However, ask me again in a few days. I might be more desperate by then."

Do find some other distraction, you may not like the volume you receive.

Distracted myself,
