seas off Mexico, forcing him to stop at Puerto Vallarta long enough to wait for his father to fly there to make
repairs.
Another tense moment occurred in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia where the Intrepid was approached by
a suspected a pirated boat.
The intruders fled after a plane flew overhead and Sunderland climbed onto his deck with a gun to keep
them off, said Charlie Nobles, executive director of the association.
Sunderland, who remained in contact with his father by satellite telephone during the voyage, threw the
gun away before entering Mexican waters, where it is illegal to carry private firearms.

On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow."Buy it," my
wife said at once. "We"ll carry it home on the roof rack. I"ve always wanted one like that."
What could I do? Ten minutes later I was ￡20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It
was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.
In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police
even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.
After a time my wife said, "There"s a long line of cars behind. Why don"t they overtake, I wonder?" In
fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with
great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One
of the officers came to me.
"Right, sir," he said. "Do you need any more help?"
I was a bit puzzled. "Thanks, officer," I said. "You have been very kind. I live just on the road."
He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. "Well, well," he said, laughing. "It"s
a cupboard you"ve got there! We thought it was something else."
My wife began to laugh. The truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. "Yes, it"s
a cupboard, but thanks again." I drove home as fast as I could.

the dog coming in from the back door, bringing with him a blast of Buffalo January 2 air.
Teach a dog to close a door behind him? That has got to be a really, really 3 thing to do. But then she
took a step 4 . "Come on, Kolby", she said, grabbing some treats (犒劳物) and 5 him in front of the open
door. "Touch." And "touch" he did, which moved the door to a 6 position. She 7 him with a treat, smiled,
looked at me, and said "see!" And I saw and became 8 . Over the last few days I have been with Kolby. Each
time he comes in I bring him back to the 9 door and ask him to close. There have been 10 in the beginning,
but lately more and more successes.
However, there remains much work to be done. I have to get him to follow my hand signal again and again
11 he will close the door from a distance. But, I now realize, 12 you keep to the focus, the 13 will be
completed.
What a 14 treat to have a dog that can close the door after himself! Even more wonder can be found in
the
15 I learned so clearly from both Emma and Kolby.
