A WINDY DAY (Continued.)
Dear Chief Kiwi, —Thank you for the certificates you awarded me, and I am continuing my essay on the above subject. With a shout of joy, Jack foolishly rushed forward, instantly to be caught in the cutting, biting wall of sand. He was whirled along for some time, but suddenly, however, his heart gave a joyous leap, for there in front of him he saw a dark shape which, he at once knew to be the armoured car, and catching hold of the rear mudguard as it passed, Jack held on desperately. For two solid hours Jack held on. Then just as he thought he would have to let go. the car stopped, and two men emerged. They had come to see what was hanging on the back of the car. When they saw Jack, their jaws dropped in amazement, but as Jack told his story their amazement grew. The wind abated its fury, the storm died away, and Jack had the experience of a real wind.
Please, Chief Kiwi, may I have a badge, as I am loyal to the rules. —Orange certificate to Harold Boyle, age 12 years, 507 Queen street E, Hastings.
