After got permission from officers, the ship goes through River Thames and landed at Westminster. The crews go to different places and Captain takes Anne to his house. The house near the market and the river, the house is big with blue paint at wall. In front of the house there are small garden, fish pond, places for riding horse, livestock house, and little farm. The workers plant wheat, corn, tomatoes, carrot, pumpkin, lettuce, spinach, and coconut.

The livestock house had a lot of chicken, pig, cow, sheep, and horse. The cattle had their own places and had to be separated so the workers can feed them easily. "I had 8 crews that you already know their names and I have 10 workers that work at the farm and house. We built this house together so our crews can have house to stay when we are not go sailing. The married ones had their own house for themselves. What do you think about this house? It had plenty empty room inside" said Captain. "The house so beautiful, there are fish pond and small garden too. I like it" said Anne. "Yes we made this house so when we go home there are view things that can be look. There is a high wall behind the house to prevent the thief steal our things. There are two workers guard the house at night. Ok let's go inside and I show your room now" said Captain. "Alright Captain" said Anne followed Captain from behind. They go to second floor that had a lot of room and bathroom inside. The first floor had guest room, Captain's office room, dining room, restrooms with separated for men and women, and the kitchen.

Oh about your dirty clothes can give to one of woman worker to wash it" said Captain. "Ok I know Captain, thank you. But what kind of work you do at your office room, Captain?" asked Anne. "Oh that are about the expenses to pay my workers for buying things, my workers salary every month, and about the revenue that I had from selling livestock and farm products. The sales report and money been brought by Ward as workers leader to my office desk if I already come back home" said Captain. "Oh is that so, I can help about calculating the expenses and revenue for each month so we can see the gain or loss that we get" said Anne. "Alright put your things first then go to my office at first floor" said Captain. "Ok Captain" said Anne. Anne put her things at her room while take out her dirty clothes. She locked her door outside and goes to find a woman worker to give her dirty clothes then goes to Captain's office room. Anne knocked the door and Captain said to come inside.

"Oh there are women too that work at here" said Anne while writing the name of workers in the note book. "Yes but they all got married with my other workers or my crews" said Captain.

After the calculation was right and matched with calculation at budget book, Captain give the new budget money for this month and return the budget book to Ward so Ward as leader can record and give money to other workers if they want to buy supplies for daily needs. After said thank you to Captain and give regards to Anne, Ward then left the office room.
