Entry 2: Losing Men and Lotus Flowers

Back on the ship my men were drinking, when our ship came upon an island. We were not welcome and we warned to leave, but we were follish and did not listen. When we started being attacked my men were not able to protect themselves due to their consumption of the strong liquor. Many of our men were defleshed and killed, back on our ship when we were leaving we mourned our loses and our follish decisions. On another island we arrived I had this feeling as if we should not stay, but many of the men had eaten Lotus Flowers and were not wanting to leave, even though as my heart was lingering for home.
