Q2 Post12

Another few days at the shoals and then Endeavour was able to get back out into deep ocean and sail for the East Indies. After a week or two, they sight land that is recognizable on their charts as parts of the eastern parts of the Indies. Landing on a island, the captain and some of the marines are attacked by some strange natives that are very brazen compared to the other natives they have been encountering so far in their journey. Eventually, they arrive at the city of Batavia, one of the most eastern cities in the East Indies. Endeavour and her crew must rest here for a while so they may restock and tend to their sick, although more people seem to be getting sick than recovering. This is very disheartening for the rest of the crew. A great problem is that some of the crew members are actually dying from the sickness, making the Captain more uneasy about the city and its sanitation procedures. Nich's health stays well, but Tarheto's older companion does not have such luck and ends up dying before they leave Batavia.
