THE TREASURE VOYAGE
An expedition is being fitted up to explore Stevenson's Treasure
Island.
No waves about me roar and rage,
My rat purrs on the rug beside me,
I cafmly turn the printed page
Quite sure no shipwreck will betide me.
And yet I sail through tropic seas
Where Treasure Island's hills are looming:
I see the tempest toss the trees,
I hear the giant breakers booming.
A safe ami pleasant voyage is mine,
Although with evil men I mingle,
Though crime and peril oft combine
To set my landsman' blood a tingle
And yet upon those btoodv sands
Tohn Silver's threats shall not alarm me.
I'll snap mv thumbs at Israel Hands;
The blackguard has not power to harm me.
The woods I'll thread from fhore to shore
By Gunn's tinearthlv shrieks undaunted,
Tl"- bidden valleys T il explore
Which Flint's unsleeping soul has haunted. ,
Secure shall every iourney be
And midnight, when it strikes, shall find me
Ap-ain upon the rocking sea
With crimes and perils all behind me.
It may be with an empty hand
That still a penniless sea rover
I shall regain my native land
' When my adventuring is over;
But all the gold beneath the sun
The best of wealth can never measure.
And when at last the tale is done "
I know I shall have found the treasurel
THE LINE OF LEAST RESISTANCE.
Trices have started up hill again, which is the direction in which they j
travel fastest. -
MAKE A SURE JOB OF IT. . '
Why not ask the delegates to the coining conference to attest their
sincerity by bringing all their arms over here and junking them outside
the three-mile limit.''
