THE COMFORT SHIP.

Now that the end of the Comfort Ship's long voyaging draws near, the brigade is working right well to give her a generous loading each time she sets out on her errand of. mercy. The parcels this week number 51, bringing our total to date up to 751. I know you will be interested to learn that this is very near to last year's total, and I hope that by the end of the month, we shall have exceeded our previous effort by at least one hundred parcels. Nurse says she is much easier in her mind now with regard to our bringing the good Ship into port, for a-J few weeks ago it looked as though she would be faced with the sad necessity of saying " no" to many requests for warm clothing. There were some interesting letters in ; the Comfort Ship ; mail this week. j Don't forget that we shall bo bringing the Good Ship into port within ten days, and we don't mind how many parcels we have to undo in that time! !
