THE "GOOD ENDEAVOUR" LEAGUE FOR YOUNG READERS ONLY Aboard for the Goodwill Gruise
What ho, what ho, in a licartics. Here Ave are at the tail end of another Avee.lv. of gloriously fine Aveather. I can tell you I haA'en't been idle in spite of the temptation to pick up a good book and laze; the hours aAvay.. No, I have found that the old. 'Good Endeavour' needs 'caulking. I don't, mean 'corking' like ginger beer or tomato sauce, I mean caulking in the seams. Its a long weary job and it only happens Avhen a ship has been on the slip for a long time and the weather opens the seams between the planking. Then you have to get some tow and ram it into the gaps s,o that it becomes watertight again. You'd better come ove.r and see me doing it, if you still don't undestand. At any rate its a darn long job and makes one pretty hungry at tea time. So you can see that I'm fully employed and don't get much time to get into mischief. Noav I had better knock off this idle talk and <lo some." thing towards the page. Cheerie till next week P.T.W.
