Then back t' t' Uff Da. This time I used Uff Da Glider C, liberally dusted with baby powder. I’d had only one 1/4A so this time I used a 1/2A. It went up, t' glider ejected, it opened. Avast, me proud beauty! It started gliding, goin' in slow circles. Ahoy! Yay!

Only no one told it it was supposed t' come down.

Six minutes later it was still up there, still circling, me bucko, but it had drifted off t' t' northwest until it be just a speck, ya bilge rat, and then it was lost t' sight.
