The tall trees on these islands were silhouetted against the darkening sky. It was a wonderful conclusion to a Very pleasant day. - NAVARRA HUMPHREYS, IIIB.

So up you sit and back you go, to the lesson (which is French), Your pen nib strives to keep the line, as· all your teeth you clench, So first week's practice ends all right, with many more to come, And you wouldn't miss for anything,- The fainting's half the fun! -V.

A frothy mass of laughter bubbles Foaming and clinging to sea weed stubbles, Babbling through the rocky tunnels, Splashing out in eddying runnels .
