"STORIUG" .•irtrtret A Tale of the Sea By BOYD CABLE Great Australian Author .-trbtrCr Begins Next Saturday! Old Windjammer Days A tale of experiences told by a sailor. I must go down to the sea again. To the lonely sea and the sky. And all 1 aek i'a a tall ship And a star to steer her by. Soon there will be no sailing •kip* left on the ocean. They belong to a form of " sea beauty" that man has ceased to build. But their phantoms will remain to haunt the minda of a sea-going race and to conjure up visions of romance and adventure.

He sketches the fascinating background of hie fine story. " Stormalong" from personal experience. Incidentally, this is his first story to be published serially. •titrkir Begins in AUCKLAND STAR NEXT SATURDAY!

He watched them mount the steps of the house and ring the bell, watched them as they stood waiting, arm in arm, then disappear within, quite unconscious of the world. He shook his head and smiled to himself as, finally climbing back into his seat, he drove off slowly through a morose, grey winter's day, which somehow suddenly seemed infinitely less grey and wintry, whistling to himself.
