cold sometimes. and this caused a curl

"Was it prolific soil ?"
"Well, yes, when the season was

one good growing season Smiths turnip
grew 80 fearfully that il covered the
entire island, and Smith had to move off !,

Sunk the entire island, and that.

that the whole thing exploded. and
Smith was blown sixty-three miles out
