THE TRAVELS OF GULLIVER SMITH, ESQ. My name is Gulliver Smith, Esquire. I am a gentleman and an adventurer. On the fifth day of August, 1939, I set sail in the good ship Iune Blossom to travel over the earth that I might find a full measure of adventure and romance in whatever strange lands I might discover. After sailing for two weeks in a calm sea, past the Cherry Valley Isles and a treacherous reet known to all seamen as Rock- ford City Limits, we were caught in a storm, the like of which I had never before seen. Finally our ship struck a rock, and I, along with sundry members of the crew, was thrown overboard. I swam for what seemed miles. At last I came to a beach where I threw myself upon the sands exhausted and immediately fell into a deep slumber. Who shall say how long I slept or what was the terror of the dreams that came to me? All I can say is that when the storm arose, it was scarcely daylight, and when I awakened, the sun was shining directly overhead. Upon awakening I walked inland a short distance and finally found myself before a huge building with many doors and win- dows and With tall pillars marking the main entrance.

All was silent for a moment, but sud- denly a bell rang, and before I could collect my thoughts enough to dis- cover what had happened, I was sur- rounded by the pushiest, shoviest, bumpiest crowd I had ever encoun- tered. Methought I should be crushed by the force of the encounter. As I stood there, I well knew that I had arrived at the land of Lincolnia. oft told of by the 01d geographers, a land peopled by most strange inhabitants. I was overjoyed, for I had long desired to know of this land and of the strange people who inhabited it, so I determined to sojourn there for awhile and see what I could of these Q QWNWk. bf E T F6
