THE "GOOD ENDEAVOUR" LEAGUE

What ho, what ho, ma hearties. Bi*rh. What a nip there is in the air now. I am thinking about shifting north to the tropics during the winter as it is always too cold here. Well Avhat sort of a week-end did you all have. 1 could sec quite a lot of activity going on over on the mainland through m3 r triple-focus-: sing j handpainted telescope and from what I could gather all you sailors were having quite a good especially on Monday. For myself, I prefer to fish on holidays, and so accordingly the three pets and I spent a quiet day out in the dinghy. Did ! say quiet? 1 beg your pardon, that was a mistake. I should have said we spent anything but a quiet day. All the time we were, out we only caught one fish and McDougall let that one get away Avhile I w r asn't looking. To make matters worse ? Butinsky fell overboard while, he was snoozing peacefully up in the bows and Peterkin had to go in after him to hold him up until I turned the boat round and rescued him. Of course Butinsky was in a frightful temper all the rest of the day as there is nothing he detests so much as water. So you can see we had quite an eventful da)'. Well, T must get on with the rest of the page. Cheerio for this Aveek. P.T.W.
