Aaron is happy to join Christopher Newport.

“Oh, yes, Father!  I think that is a good idea.”

 

        The next day Aaron went to talk with Christopher Newport.  He asked if he could sail with him to the New Land.

 

        “I’d be pleased to have you aboard.  You are young and strong.  You can help with the sails on the boat.   I plan to take some men and supplies over in about three weeks.  You will need to pack.  Bring your musket!  I hear there are many animals with beautiful furs.  We will leave December 20.”

 

        So Aaron climbed aboard the Susan Constant.  Newport had three boats.  This boat was the biggest.  It had tall sails.  They stocked it with food.  They also put in the things they would use for finding gold and fur.
