Status Updates From Swallow

Continuing this saga... ...I've come to the conclusion that it would have been better to have called the title of the book: Three-two-three.
I want to know more on how convicts received a number and how this was documented. Intrigued on how records were kept and how stories like this one would never have been created if not for the incredible investigation made by authors like Burnham and others.

Upon reaching Part II, "The Liberty" (p. 77), I found the narrative increasingly difficult to follow, ultimately skipping from page 85 directly to Part 3. While Part II intends to build William Swallow's character by exploring a romantic interlude with his wife, Susannah, the character arc unfortunately becomes buried under superficial romance and melodrama.

The convicts have finally taken control of the ship. Swallow has been blasting orders to secure the navigation tools as he wanting to prevent the "debacle" of the Seaflower from happening again.
