T’eh geddyn “Yn Coraa Ghailckagh.” We are well aware that he is a good man well learned in Manx, because he was a member of the Peel Class. Many’s the time he has read lessons at services in Manx. He gets the “Yn Goraa Ghailckagh” (“The Manx Voice”).

There were two recordings to be heard, one of Mr. Will Wade, Robby Fayle, Capt. Kinley, Charles Craine and Bill Radcliffe, and one other of Mrs. Kinvig.

What do you think about the “Steam Packet”? Maybe better news will come out of the conversation between the governor and “Dai Max.” (Sir David Maxwell Fyffe.)

There will be a story about a “Kissing Bush” next week, because Charles Clarke has a small report for us, about the like that was in a certain house this year.
