May 30, 1914

Oh man, this is gonna be good! So, Yorkie and I came up with this plan to try and cure our boredom. Tonight, we are gonna take one of my rowboats and row ashore to help out some of the marines on the ground. Brilliant plan, right! I am glad you agree, book. Anyhow, on another note, The Captain got me a camera. Yorkie and I took some photos with it. Whatcha think, book?

(There are two pictures taped to the page. They are very old and slightly worn. The one with no beard and the bow tie is labeled New York, 1914, and has what appear to be tear stains on it. Though the tear stains seem far newer than the picture.)

We each took our photos. Look at him trying to be as cool as me! Sincerely, Texas
