"Yes, mast carried away in an accidental gybe in West Bay," said Mr. Graham. "We haven't had an uneventful time, and it's been quite enjoyable."
"It has," added Desmond. "I'm sorry it's over."
"The holidays aren't over yet," remarked Findlay optimistically.
"And you have a large and new cruising ground open to you," said Mr. Collinson. "If the Spindrift serves you as well as she has me, you'll have no cause for complaint. Well, lads, here's good luck to the Spindrift and her crew."
Transcriber's Notes:
This book contains a number of misprints.
The following misprints have been corrected:
[Binstard Hard] —>
[Binstead Hard]
Taking into account that "Binstead" does exist
(and "Binstard" doesn't) and "Binstead" is also mentioned
in this book, and furthermore that "Binstard Hard" is
supposed to be at an hours' rowing distance from
"Wootton Creek", this probably is a typographical error.
[Scoutmaster and Sea Souts] —>
[Scoutmaster and Sea Scouts]
[to summons assistance] —>
[to summon assistance]
Obvious punctuation/spelling errors were corrected without note.
