Winter
Storms On the Cornwallis in the winter-time we broke ice. We went to Newfoundland breaking ice. I enjoyed Newfoundland. There were a lot of storms in the winter. The ship was big, over 260 feet long, but the waves in a storm were big too. They lifted the whole ship up, and then sent it down. The bow would go right under the waves. On days like that if you wanted something to eat you had to fix it yourself as there were no cooks on duty. You had to tie a rope around your waist so you would not be thrown over board. The fridge and stove were tied down also. 112 Words
