THINGS AT THE SEA-SHORE

WHAT THE TRIBE’S ARTIST SAW HOW TO WIN A BRIGHT HALF-CROWN

The Tribe’s artist has been busy again. Result: • an exciting picture puzzle this week that Northlanders will love to solve. Each of the seven lines in the accompanying picture represents something that can be seen at the seaside, a square standing for each letter. Instead of clues, each vowel (a, e, i, 0, or u) is indicated by a circle, placed in the correct order in which the vowel appears in the word. Your task is simply to fill in the letters, and with all- the a’s, e’s, i’s, o’s and u’s given this will be quite easy for any Young Northlanders who have ever visited the seaside. To give you a start on this week’s competition, and at the same time

afford an example of what is required, the answer to puzzle number one is “pool.” Both the second and third squares contain a circle indicating that vowels should come in those two spaces. Now, I am sure, you see what is required, so off you go and guess the other teasers. Fill in the squares neatly, snip the picture from the “Advocate” and send in with the best riddle you know in order to reach this office not later than Wednesday next. Half-crown prizes will reward the lucky winners, and there will be certificates of merit for other clever people.
