Chapter 11, titled The Treasure Cove, brings the captain and eventually the loyal crew at long last to what they seek. Enter the dim forests and jungles of Africa as the captain stumbles upon a stream that leads him around to the hidden bay only foretold by his faithful friend Captain Horne. Watch to see what they find!
Chapter 10, titled What They Found There, brings the crew to a disappointing discovery in the shallows of a hidden harbor. Yet by the end of the chapter, their spirits are not dampened, and they decide to face the threats of the jungle the following day. . .
Also, one minor note, there was some trouble with the typesetting of Treasure on the Southern Moor, and so therefore it will be a few days past September 1st before this book is in print, yet I'm hoping to have it done very soon. Stay tuned!
Children's Hour – How do you spell Psammead?
Five Children and It is a story about five children who live in the English countryside about a century ago in the Nineteen Aughts and have all sorts of interesting adventures. They find a Sand-fairy (it) that gives them wishes, yet their wishing always turns out bothersome and hard and they find themselves locked on top of church towers or in besieged castles or at police stations. The children write to their mother, yet none of them know how to spell the interesting word the Sand-fairy calls himself, a Psammead, which is Greek for Sand-fairy. . .
Half an hour went by before Jane felt quite sure that they could none of them spell Psammead. And they could not find it in the dictionary either, though they looked. Then Jane hastily finished her letter.
. P.S. – If you could have a wish come true, what would you have?
Then the postman was heard blowing his horn, and Robert rushed out in the rain to stop his cart and give him the letter. And that was how it happened that, though all the children meant to tell their mother about the Sand-fairy, somehow or other she never got to know. There were other reasons why she never got to know, but these come later.
