what happen after the two ship lost connection

In 1733, we left St. Petersburg with almost 600 people. Our group included a few scientists, skilled workers, soldiers, and sailors took. We spent a year in Tobolsk, we built our ship and explored the Ob River. The people there are very friendly. They help us to how to find out food and water. Next, we continued to Yakutsk, we spent four years on the place. Yakutsk was only a small college and we have many people in the expedition, so we had to build our own buildings, we also built boats and explored Lena River although it is very difficult, but we insist on completion. Then we moved on to Okhotsk on the eastern coast, took two more years to build ships so that we could explore and map the east coast. Our leader’s name is Bering, he made careful plans, but were always problems. Our one of the ships sank in a storm and we lost a lot of our food.

  We are not lucky, we suffer storms, and the two ships lost contact, but at last our sailors saw mountains a short distance across the sea. We have new problems. Our water is not enough, and many people were sick from scurvy, a disease caused by the lack of vitamin C. When they drank the salty water, they started dying, one after another. We feel d despair, we try to save them, but the fact is cruel. Finally, a storm drove us on to a swell island, and our ship could not sail again. The place ship could not sail again. The place ship could not sail again. The place ship with no trees, but we find birds and animals for food, and fresh water to drink. Until December 8, 1741, Bering died and buried on the island that is now named for him. When spring came, we were able to build a small ship from the wood in the old one and leave the island.
