hips log 1937.  January 24.  Latitude 20 North, Longitude 112 West.

We are hiding about one hundred and fifty miles off the coast of China.  We are in a good position to intercept ships heading to and from Singapore. 

Wong Ho is also in the area.  He is the most feared pirate in the South China Sea.   He has a large pirate ship.

Our ship the "Pink Rose" is small and can maneuver very quickly.  Therefore, we don't worry about Wong Ho.  We do have to keep an eye out for him to prevent him from sneaking up on us.

We are in the South China Sea because of the rumblings of war throughout the world.  There are the Nazis in Germany, the democrats in America and the empire of Japan.  The seas are not save for a pirate anymore.  The warmongers have fast metal clad ships with big guns and even some with airplanes on them.

We attacked a Junk today.  It was loaded with fruit.  Since fruit is difficult for us to deal with we let it go.
