Spring
“Like so many of his schemes, it had begun with the best of intentions and most logical of ideas.
He’d used the string, tube and polystyrene he had collected and, in a trice, turned them into a breathing apparatus, using the string to affix the tube to his person in such a way that it stayed adjacent to his mouth.
His purpose was to swim with his head under the water and attempt to plot those parts of the Quoits which were now submerged, just to satisfy himself of their location and scale.
The f...act that he could not swim did not deter him.
He reasoned that all he needed was buoyancy, and there were plenty of lumps of polystyrene floating about the place to provide that. All that was necessary was to attach bits to his various limbs with the pieces of string and tape so liberally washed up on the shore, and then all would be well.
Thus attired he had lumbered through the shallows and entered the water. It was rather colder than he expected but to one such as Stort, on a new quest for knowledge, this was just a trivial inconvenience.MoreLess
