Two Heirs (The Marmoros Trilogy Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
The Santa Joanna turned out to be a small two masted brig that looked somewhat the worse for wear. It was, however, small enough to tie up at one of the wharves stretching out into the bay which allowed them to drive their wagons down the pier alongside the ship. They unhitched the horses who were swayed aboard first, down into the hold where temporary stalls had been rigged to accommodate them. The bales of bedding and feed for the horses which Josep had bought for the voyage, had already been loaded into the hold. Next the wagons were swayed aboard, one by one, and lashed to the deck. The wagons would have no protection from the weather or from seas breaking across the deck and so the ladies had wrapped everything they could in bundles of oilcloth and canvas. The more precious possessions and vulnerable trading goods were taken below to the hold but space there was extremely limited and most of their goods had to remain in the wagons. There was no accommodation for passengers on the brig, so they would all have to sleep either in or under their wagons.
