We crossed the equator a week ago, Frankie.
:18:14
Be docking in the Cape soon.
:18:17
And it's really hot on board now.
:18:19
It's so hot on deck,
you burn your hands on the rail.
:18:24
Well, I'd better go now, Frankie.
:18:27
It's my turn on watch.
:18:29
Now, mind and stick in at school
and be a good boy for your mammy.
:18:34
Love from your daddy.
:19:12
Hey, Frankie boy, bet you're dead excited
about seeing your da?
:19:15
Why don't you just lay down and die?
:19:17
Ignore him, Frankie.
:19:19
Bet you didn't even know his boat was coming!
:19:21
Of course he knew, stupid.
:19:23
And you don't need to shout.
He can see what you're saying... unfortunately.
:19:26
I bet you all my trump cards
your da doesn't come.
:19:30
If he comes, I'll give you the lot.
:19:32
If he doesnae come,
:19:33
you have to give me every single one of
your stamps and your knife, to keep for ever.
:19:38
No, Frankie, don't. Don't do it.
:19:48
Dear Da, sorry I haven't written for a few days.
:19:51
Things have been very busy here.
