  • Arrival

    Arrival
    The trip was long and hard. I remember it took me a long time to get there because of the Steerage Act. This act stated that there could only be so many passengers on one trip over to America. When I got there I remember I needed a long rest.

    STOP THIEF
    It was a week or two after I started working I believe, it was just another day and I saw this man running down the road of course I didn't think much of it I lived in Boston. There was something odd about him though, I stopped him he tried to push past me. When he did that I grabbed him. A few minutes later the cops came and arrested him. Turned out he was a robber. They made me a cop after that and it was a good day.
