Well, the tempest is over and the weather's perfect for sailing. Now we just need to repair that bloody lifeboat….

An announcement. Gerda Maier is dead, killed by that dangerous mutineer Brendan Shaw, who is still at large - a menace to us all. Now. Some of us were unduly harsh on Gerda while she lived, but it is clear that she was a courageous, honorable person who gave her life to help keep the rest of us safe. The weapon Brendan used to kill her has been found embedded in the rocks below the northern cliff, but there is no sign of Gerda's body.

Look, don't count on this as the whole truth yeah, but I heard Phoebe got herself thrown off a cliff by the Reverend. Blimey. I always thought she was a few screws short of an engine sure, what with all that fire stuff, but murder? That's a bit extreme i'n't it?

Has anyone seen Abigail? I… think she might be missing. Some people are saying she was there when the storm hit the cliffs… but I haven't seen her for days! I'm sorry - I've no wish to make a fuss; I'm just… worried. I miss her - she was always nice to me, even when I was being horrid… and of course, she was the most wonderful cook….
- Alice Drummond
Miss Lund - Sassa - it. Seems that she is dead. I've heard that she sacrificed herself to save Dr Cheshire, she. She was a good bosun and an honourable woman.

I'm utterly, awfully, horribly soaked. That storm was completely dreadful, and everything I own is sodden to the core. Why does everything on this island have to be so beastly?

Well, we have a broken boat. Not much else though.
It's really quite pleasant outside - clear skies as far as the eye can see. It's funny - you wouldn't think there had been a storm raging over the island just yesterday….
