What Jio. what I jo. ; 11; i hearties. This weather will do me line. You've I no idea how beautiful flu * sea looks and how marvel lons is the view from the' "Whale Island trig in the (inc. clear morning air. "II is getting much warmer now 100 and every daj* 1 take a stroll with my two pets down to Sulphur Bay Avlicrc Pelerkin has. a swim and where Butinsky the goat nibbles [ round the .fern bushes and biles oil' . Pohutukawa leaves. Yesterday morning there Avas a large sting-ray stranded. When f was a boy I remember I used to call it \stingaree' ; but that's not its proper name. Anyhow, this feillow was a whopper, and although he was badly wounded, he was still alive and Hopping around when we arrived. I'm not too fond of those, chaps though so we left him there after Butinsky had gone up and sniffed him and then got a fright. We had no further adventures that day and I noticed this morning that the fish had gone, though whether it had got back to the water, or had died and then been carried away by last night's ti-de. I don't know! ! ;
