To, the Euitor of the *wNownt-Cniva Datty New Sm—When I wrote a trying to explain how cap Iravelled' with who seemed to.me.& very clever man told me. how he used fo manage to find out where he'was with a map and a. sting and weight to tell him how deep sea ras Where he was and to Keep his ship from wandering into laces where there wasn't enough Water above. the ground I thong! That" what my" captain told. might "have been of ute to other fors because it seemed to me 40 tensible and that perhaps it would Help about the Amherst Rocks, becaure they must of course Yeally Stuck onto the ground underneath the: water, But although it seemed so sensible to me when my captain explained about ie 1 think perhaps ie. would really be better it'my captain himself or another sailor would try and explain "about. it because I don't know about these things very well fod" what aid, cant dave paper seems to think T was trying Very clear as'n man in yesterday
explain about fishing because he tanks of trying to catch sprats. and Whales, and" another. man says Something about knowing mots and hot knowing nots that I have not deen able to understand, Of course I-can see that the first man might think Tw 4 about ishing because of the string and eud and T suppose it might be that the captain's valet actually did try to eaten fish when he had anyhow to let to the bottom of the sea, I mi is ead and string down admit I hadn't thought of that though it does seem quite a sensible thing to do if it is not against any regulations.
But I wasn't really meaning to talk about fishing and anyhow 1 don't think I would really like to catch a whale, I remember when Twas very young my parents took me up to Scotland to a town called Glasgow and one night we went to A concert and a man got up and told us how he had won an elephant ina raffle at a bazaar and after Keeping it for 2 days and not being able to find anything more for it to eat he took it out in the middle of the night, and "wandered ie in the ston Road." I always remember the name of.the road because after the concert when I was having my bath and the nurse put Boop into my eyes I told her to go and wander herself in the Kilgrason Road and one of my ents bean to sing. Now supposing I did cal 'a'whale and managed to get it home Yo the garden or somewhere, after day of two it would begin to go. sour and I'm sure I could not wander @ sour dead whale so easily'
