AT PALLISER BAY
"Yesterday we went for. a trip to Palliser Bay. The grown-ups, went fishing while .we. changed into our:togs. We enjoyed ourselves t .by paddling in a little fresh-water stream and on the beach, where the breakers came in. We sun-bathed in the hot sands and covered ourselves with sand. After an enjoyable lunch .we climbed as far as we could up a hill which was nearly covered with ti-tree, flowering cuttygrass, and other trees. "Left to myself, I took a walk through a kind of gorge to see some pinnacles. Trodden-by hundreds of feet, a path was.plainly visible through the mass of ti-tree.- I.sat down on a green, fern-strewn ledge to rest. There was no stillness: in there. .:'; You could still hear the roar of the breakers, the humming .of crickets, and ;the. wind moaning gently in the branches of trees. "The homeward journey and going down was really exciting, for in some parts the hills rose steeply where workmen had made the road *and. on the other side of the road the bank, covered with trees, went down steeply into, more trees." "LAUGHING LASS." Mar-tinborough, J
