Make Christmas a
Family Affair
A few weeks ago (before all
this white stuff arrived) Al
Galbraith was walking On the
beach at his cottage when be
spotted a bottle floating near
shore, Upon retrieving it', he
found it contained a roughly
torn piece of brown paper with
the following message:
"Aug, 2, 1833. Our boat has
hit a coral reef. It sunk fast but I
managed to get off in time, I.
swam to an island. The island is
eroding fairly fast. I am, in dire
distress, please help."
We do hope that someone
way back there in 1833 rescued
this poor soul but we'll probably
. never know.
