286 tresure the last time she wrote to you so you know about it. It was verry eciting and we dug a lot more on trasket afterwords but we didn't find any thing ellse. Foger clened the sordhilt and he thinks it realy is a furarra one. I all most forgot to tell you the eciting thing that hapaned yesterday a big 3 master came along in and haled us and asked where they were alowed to anchor. Foger and I went abord of her for fun and foger sort of piletted her in. The captain was aufuly nice he showed me every thing there was on her and took me into his cabin and a nice sailer called Brigs carryed me in the hard places and I saw them get the sail off her and every thing. I never was abord of a schooner before were you ever? it is verry wonderfull. The captain says when I am 21 he will take me on a voyage round the World but Im afraid he'll forget about it. I wish you would come down here on my berthday you can sleep in my room because I would just as leif sleep in the servisroom and I want you to come. I am lerning to swim foger is teaching me the astralien craul just the arm part of it and I can go aufuly far about 6 ft. only not verry fast. It is verry hard because you all ways forget to brethe at the right time and if you do it when your face is under water it is horid. This is much the longst leter I ever wrote and I think I will stop because Joan says come and lets look at the sea caverns.Yours with love your afectonate nepew Garth.
