18 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD JONAH AND THE WHALE Old Jonah gazed in deep surprise Upon those two great fishy eyes That swiftly drew towards himg And then he said: I am no coward, I don't care if I am devoured By this gigantic whale. The whale came up and swallowed him, He slithered down a cavern dim, Whose oily walls were heaving. Then Jonah said: I'll use my gumption, If his digestion starts to function, What will become of me? The whale's intestines he explored, Tweaked every tendon, pulled each cord. Meanwhile the whale in anger burnedg The frothing ocean round him churned, As splashing on he tried to reach The soft, far distant beach. At length with many a scraping sound The great leviathan ran agroundg He spat out Jonah on the shore, And then put out to sea once more. Good Jonah then let out a shout: I knew he'd have to spit me out! -J.C.L.A. THE LIBRARY The Library has been considerably replenished by gifts of books this term. The gifts have included a large number of books pre- sented by Dr. Orchard and Mr. Geldard. There were books and a file of Records left by Dr. Rigby for the Library. Other donors are Archdeacon Scott, who very kindly presented us with an auto- graphed copy of his Poemsg and Mr. Taylor. There is a great deal of work to be done yet in building up the Library after the complete destruction of the Fire. Such gifts as those we are glad to record here with gratitude are of the greatest service.

g TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 1',' Friday, September 15th. Rollers 25 yards long, 15 feet high. Everybody exceedingly seasick. Same schedule as yesterday. We shipped quite a lot of water. Saturday, September 16th. Today has been the roughest day so far but somehow I just can't be sick any longer,-at least I am sitting up now and again. Unsympathetic seamen have been visit- ing our bunkhouse with the words She's a nice sea now, but wait till she gets rough! It's awful in the bunkhouse. Right at the rear end of the ship as it is, one feels rather as if one was in a high speed elevator which not only goes up and down, but rolls from side to side at the same time, and all with terrific speed. Sunday, September 17th. Thank God! We are almost out of the gale. All that is left this evening of the rough weather is a heavy swell. It is wonderful to be able to eat a meal and enjoy it with no fear of reproducing it a moment later. For the past day or two a trimmer by the name of Shanghai has been coming in and yarning to us in the bunkhouse. Shanghai seems to have been everywhere and done everything. He has no morals in the accepted sense, but although he is a hardened sinner there is something inherently decent about him. Shanghai has every story teller I ever heard beaten easily. Even old Blimey of the Salacia hasn't a look in. Monday, September 18th. God's Country, exclaimed Fred, one of the cattlemen, as Canada hove in sight through the port- hole at seven this morning. At that moment Rhodes woke .up suf- ficiently to drawl, Did you ever hear of the little girl who said in her prayers before leaving England, 'Good-bye, dear God, I'm going to America tomorrowf The abuse and boots passed lightly over Rhodes' sleeping countenance. Good weather seems too much to expect on this trip. At about five this afternoon the wind sprang up, the rain came down, and land disappeared. As I write we are tossing and pitching in the good old Kastalia manner and making about five knots against strong head winds. Tuesday, September 19th. Out of sight of land again with terrific winds blowing continuously. Absolutely nothing to record today except one or two whales on the horizon. Hurry up time. and pass quickly-I'm absolutely fed up with S.S. Kastalia ! Sk lk 16 Il 8 And there it ends! For some unknown reason Stevenson neglected to till in the last entrye-the arrival at Montreal.
