No. 2.

THREE ENIGMAS.

1.

My first is in bird, but not in hen.
My second in owl, but not in wren.
My third in snipe, but not in quail.
My fourth in boat, but not in sail.
My fifth in olive, but not in fig.
My sixth in branch, but not in twig.
My whole is a city famed far and wide,
Whose shores are washed by the Atlantic tide.

Roger Derby.
