Mistaken Identity

A city boy was out to take an inventory of a farm. He hadn't any experience in this type of work, but he managed to make a list of all the chattels and stock until he came to an animal which he was unable to identify-a goat.

So he ‘phoned his boss, and said: “What did you call this thing that's around here with a rough coat that's worn out in 59015. a white beard and a long, sad face."

To which the boss repiied:_

' at, you fool, is the farmer!"

Rogers said, switching off the torch decisively. At eleven thirty-two the Man-

They dropped anchor; the rattling of the chain sounded loud enough to wake the dead. Then all was quiet but for the sound of water slapping against the side, and the muffled fall of their foot- stBDs on the deck, as they moved about preparing the flares. It was, as they all knew, the moment of danger. 1.i’ the friends of the pris- oner could see them on the shore so also would anyone else,

Roger struck the match . . . The first flare smouldered a mo- merit, reminding him ldiotically, of Iirvworks 0n Guy Fawkes night in the Novernlber fog of London. Then it blazed-throwing the three of them, the line of stanchions, the tops of the ventilators intc flaring white relief
