Many had seen photographs of it—the view over the river, the valuable violins, the family leaving for Venice, the family feeding the elephants. So I felt brave as I ventured up the driver that November afternoon. After all I had been a fan of his for years.
　　After returning to England in 1929, Sir Francis Chichester made a solo flight to Australia in a biplane. Two years later, in 1931, he piloted the first east-west flight over the Tasman Sea between New Zealand and Australia.

J. Jingles and rhymes
⑴ Puff, puff ⑶ He that would thrive,
　　Puff the fluff, Must rise at five.
　　And fly, feather, fly; He that has thriven,
　　Puff, puff, May lie till seven.
　　That’s enough— And he that by the plough would thrive,
　　It’s far, far off in the sky. Himself must either hold or drive.
　　
⑵ Come visit the lovely violets ⑷ The fair breeze blew,
　　That live in the valley here; The white foam flew;
　　The loveliest violets you ever have seen The furrow followed free,
　　Over the hills or near. We were the first to burst —
Into that silent sea.
