The Big Raft.

On tho fourteenth OF March the
wheezy tug pulled the great, b.own
cigar.shaped monster that meant so
much TO Sandry and the fortunes OF
the Dillingworth from it's moorings
out TO the narrow, deep neck OF the
bay that would take 1t to the sea.
Sandry for the first time In his life
felt the slow, sliding motion as tho
great oval floor responded to the
screeching tug and the ebb tide.
On board with Sandry were Daily
