GOOD FRIDAY When Good Friday rolls around, Kites come out of basements and corners. Stores bring out their kites too, and sell materials. Bermudian boys and girls make kites too, and sell them for pocket money. There is often competition, To see who can make the best, biggest, most unusual or colourful kite. On Good Friday, Thousands of Kites can be seen in the sky. The fun only begins. When kites break loose or get tangled in one-another. Competitions also begin like, Whose kite can fly the highest or farthest. Have dog-fights, Cut off your tail so kites go wild. Send up messages. With a piece of paper Kite flying day. Is the most exciting and funniest day of the year. by Sarah HURRICANE By:- S. J obi in (1D) The Hurricane Warning and Tracking Station in the Florida Keys was suddenly stirred to full strength as the satellite photo of the Atlantic came in. An intense low was gathering momentum and was turning into a Tropical Storm. Within the hour it had developed into a Hurricane. The raging storm packed winds up to 170 mph, not to mention a 15 to 20 ft ground swell! Soon all this information and more was channeled outward on emergency weather stations. But in the open sea, the schooner, Lively Lady was sailing toward Bermuda, totally unaware of the ap- proaching storm. Suddenly the schooner was facing a wall of solid greenwater which came cascading aown upon the seemingly match-stick of a ship, engulfing it completely. The lillte had just barely recovered an even keel when the winds struck. They ripped the sails to ribbons and pushed enormous mountains of water on the schooner, pounding it continuously. Above, the grey sky opened up, unleashing tons of water while brilliant streaks of white lightning shot down, lighting the diastrous scene. Suddenly, the winds stopped. Inside the eye of the hurricane, the waves shot up in geysers, totally confused without the driving wind to push them. Bi ' cis and insects rested in the rigging of the floating wreck. Then the wind came again, throwing the birds and insects off the ship and into the churning waters around it. The waves resumed their murderous pattern and continued to batter the ship. Suddenly it happened. The ship hit something hard then bounced off, shaking the ship from bow to stern. Another swell surged and swallowed up the ship, spitting it ou the razor-sharp coral, ripping a hole in her hull. Another surge picked the wreck up and threw it over the reef ip ' O the churning waters beyond. Miracuously, the ship still floated, but just for a moment, then it scraped agains; f-e bottom. Suddenly, a huge, black coral boulder loomed up ahead, but the schooner still rocketed towards it. Ti en there was an earth-shattering crash: one that over-rode the terrific roar of the wind and surf. Soon the wind subsided from a deafening wail to a quiet whisper. Also, at last, the waves ceased their deadly purpose, but all that was lef t of the once gallant schooner, Lively Lady was her wrecked hull which was bat- tered and beaten and wedged between two great rocks. 27

ANIMAL ATTACK By:- A. Smith (1D) Silently and gracefully the sleek figure slithered through the jungle, like an apparition, toward the small village. The great shepanther ' s red eyes shone in the night and her nose twitched at the smell of human blood not far away. Because of a past injury, the once great huntress was compelled to prey on weak humans in order to sur- vive. In the village, a lone woman was returning to her home after seeing the witch doctor who had warned her that great evil would soon come upon her. Slightly aware of a faint noise behind her, she turned around to see a shocking sight. Behind her were two eyes and a set of sharp, white teeth. She could determine nothing else because of the darkness of the starless night. She opened her mouth to scream but the creature with the evil eyes lept, and the teeth, like a door, close.: on her flesh and opened, revealing traces of red around the previously white teeth. The beast seized her frai! bouy and carried it into the forbidding dark of the jungle. The next day brought both grief and fear to the villagers. Some people said that the witch doctor had killed the woman and others said that a halfman half-wolf had killed her and would continue to kill the others unless it was put to death. The leader of the people was more realistic than others and said that it was probably Timba, the vicious she-panther which had brought death to many villagers in the past. It was thought up until now that the creature had been killed, but there was a possibility that she might still be roaming the jungles as long as she did, so the life of every villager was in jeopardy of being stolen away if he ventured too far into the wilderness, or even if he dared to be alone. It was decided that a professional hunter would be brought to the country immediately because procrastination could mean death. Mr. Peter McGregger, the hunter, was very greedy, and extremely unlikeable but he had a determination to catch any animal he had set out to. He had brought some helpers with him and was very confident that if Timba was still alive, her ' ,death was not far away. Immediately upon his arrival he requested to be taken to a clearing near the jungle and soon, with his ten men, he set up camp. On the night of his arrival, Timba could smell, for the first time in months, the blood of a deer. She silently ap- proached the area where the smell was coming from and located a dead deer with ropes attached to it. She moved cautiously toward it and, remembering when her mate had seized a deer in this position she never saw him again. She knew that man had to be nearby so she waited until two men came to check the trap. Soon they separated and began to search the area. Timba followed one and jumped him, killing him with a devastating scratch and then she followed the other. He saw her and aimed his gun at her, but, instead of running away, she looked at him. The man could not bear the penetrating stare and remained still as the creature killed him and carried him away. McGregger was not shaken by the fact that the two men had not returned and he became even more determined to kill Timba when she began to frequent the camp and even to drag men away as they slept. Timba moved like a ghost and was never heard nor seen but her presence could be felt. Soon the men were reduced to three and, as they slept one night, a silent figure stalked their tent and jumped upon it slitting it to shreds. One man, who was near the devasting claws, was killed and the cat ran away, followed by the two frightened men. They split up and one man was killed, leaving only McGregger. Timber was tired, now, and approached McGregger, fixing a piercing stare on him, never blinking her eyes and never changing her pace. McGregger was soon forced to look at her eyes and he stood as if glued to his spot. The cat slowly advanced and the hand on the trigger of the rifle slowly closed until suddenly the cat jumped and at the same time, the rifle went off. The bullet lodged in the great cat ' s left leg and the cat hit its mark expertly. McGregger stayed alive, pointing at the cat, swearing to get revenge and he met the cat ' s cold stare. He died with his eyes opened and his index finger pointing at the cat, calling it a demon. The cat watched him until he died and then she walked away, her eyes seeming to reflect the feeling of contentment, but still they were cold and red and death-bearing.
