SFLWYN HOl'SI-I SCHOOL MAGAZINE Ulihe library. A good book is the precious blood of a master spirit. - Ulillozzil. We need scarcely say that the Library has proved to be a tremendous acquisition to the School. There is a splendid selection of over 300 booksf a selection to which much care and forethought was given. There is something to suit the individual taste of every boy in the School, the range covering Biographies, Stories of Adventure and Dis- covery, Fairy Tales, Nature Study, Music, Poetry, Reference books, Fncyclopzrdia, Science, Historical and Biblical stories, as well as 20 volumes of the Book of Knowledge, the kind gift of Mrs. Lindsay, mention of which has been made in School Notes. There has been a steady demand for books daily, and that there is a fondness for reading is evinced by the nature of the books requested. Members of the Staff, too, have recalled the Golden Age , and have re-read old favourites of their own schoolboy days. Here is a wonderful opportunity which no boy in the School should miss. May we suggest, too, that parents should encourage their boys to make use of the Library to its fullest extent F A thought has occurred to us, viz., that the gift ofa suitable book by boys leaving the School, for inclusion in the Molson Bookcase, would be a graceful act which would be much appreciated by all.

For four years in succession the Herzogin Cecilie had been the winner. This year the captain who had sailed her on those victorious voyages had, with me, bought the Parma, and we were going to sail her together. This man was Ruben de Cloux, a Finn, despite his French-sounding name. Our chief rivals were the redoubtable Herzogin Cecilie and Pamir, and the rleet Archibald Russell. We were among the last to leave Spencer's Gulf lthe ship which took the shortest time from Australia to England or Ireland was the winnerl. Four ships left in quick succession f the Pedersen, the Melbourne, our Parma, and the Pamir. We kept in sight of the latter until we came into a squall, in which we were unable to hold our course, and had to make for Bass Strait, between Australia and Tasmania, instead of going south of the latter. L'nfortunately we were becalmed, and were forced to make our way slowly out through a rather narrow strait between Tasmania and some small islands. We were surprised to see another sailing vessel here, and crowded on all sail to catch up with her. It was the Pedersen, a Swedish boat. By the time she had full sail up, we were two miles ahead. After two days she dropped astern, and we saw her no more. The barometer kept falling, and squalls were rising continuously. After a good run of over six hundred and iifty miles in three days, we came into a gale, with hail and sleet, and the waters of the South Pacific washing our decks. As the storm showed no sign l6l
