Company had died of lockjaw two years previous to the period of which we write, and is therefore unworthy of farther notice. A confidential clerk had taken, and still retained, his place. Messrs. Denham, Crumps, and Company, were shipowners. Report said that they were rich, but report frequently said what was not true in those days.
"A2," "3" and "4" were the most peaceful of our sector, and the only disturbance here during the tour was when one of a small burst of crumps blew up our bomb store and blocked the trench for a time.
I wish to supply a ship's lifeboat to every vessel that belongs to us, and a set of life-belts, besides other things. I estimate that this will require a sum of nearly two thousand pounds.

I should like to have your advice on this point, and on several other matters of a similar nature, Mr Crumps, because there has been no regular `Charity' account in our ledger, I find, and I would like to open one. Don't you think it would be as well to open one?"
