THE "GOOD ENDEAVOUR" LEAGUE FOR YOUNG READERS ONLY Abroad for the Goodwill Cruise

What ho, what 110, ma hearties. Here's better Aveatlier for you. This is something like summer. I have become so sun burnt that I am almost like a Maori, and as for Butinsky, lie seems to become blacker day by day. It certainly feels like Christmassy weather to me and already I am counting over my presents and getting all excited at the prospect. Noav lads and lassies, this is of course Good Old Christmas time asusual, but ycu all know that wc arc at Avar Avith Germany, and that it cannot be quite the same as an ordinary one, so don't expect the same amount of lovely presents and don't think that anything has been overlooked if there are no bon-bons and paper hats and things to brighten up the day. Just treat Christmas as the best day of all, but forget that it's net quite possible to haA r e all the good things you had in the past. I am going to try and Avork quietly on the S.S. Good Endeavour so that she Avill be fit for her next voyage, though of course, I will have a splendid dinner and lots of fun exploring the Island once more. I hear that you are all getting ready for breaking up school soon and that already there is a lot of excitement. Good luck to you l'or it all and I hope that all your happy plans Avill be carried out to the letter. Old Peter—l see that one ycung member thinks I'm pretty fat, judging by his picture—send you all his regards and hopes that you Avill be as happy as he. Till next Aveek, cheerio, Peter the Whaler.
