1. We have been paid to feed you for the duration of your transportation sentence
2. We will be keeping all the money/food/rum
3. If you escape we will hang you so DON'T COME BACK
4. Tonight the joint will be unlocked
5. see 3 (above)
Officers posted out here in the 18th century had the choice: a dishonourable discharge OR a tour of duty in [whatever Australia was called then] so yeah, the officers were worse than the convicts.
Christians understand history and appreciate the redemptive power of Christ's blood. What do you appreciate?
