Child was still puzzled by the look on Veritas' face. But it appeared she was not going to get any immediate answers or explanations.

Most of her friends were gathered around Legolas as he began to administer healing to Samwise. Things seemed to be going quite well until Birdland turned up and again had Sam rolling with laughter.

Legolas looked grave and shook his head in the direction of the large bird in the mast.

Child, however, was extremely glad to see Bird. She looked quite relaxed and rejuvenated. Child vowed to corner Bird the first minute she could in order to show her the strange missive concerning the Barrow-downs Elves.

Meanwhile, Child had carefully scoured the entire ship. She wrote down the information she needed and posted her list onto the main masthead. This notice read as follows:

A List of All Elves from the Barrowdowns Known to be on Board this Ship:

Veritas
Piosenniel
Meneldulinier
Celeaewen
Rosseliantiel
Legolas (Honorary Barrowdowns resident)

A List of All Persons of Uncertain Heritage Who May or May Not Have One of More Elves on their Family Tree (i.e. one of the Took relations):

Frodo Baggins
Rose Cotton

If you feel your name has been added to this list in error, please inform Child immediately so appropriate corrections may be made. Conversely, if your name should be added here, please indicate by signing the list.

The above persons should be on the lookout for any strange symptoms during this voyage, indicating you may be "unwell", e.g., have dreams and visions of the Sea, have an uncontrollable urge to read travel books about the Blessed Lands, have a sudden compusion to sell your existing home in the Barrowdowns and invest in new property across the Sea. Please report such symptoms immediately to Child.

Child looked at the petition she had posted. As soon as Samwise was feeling better and she could talk to him, she would scratch out her own name and insert that of Sam, since he was undoubtedly better qualified in such things.

Suddenly, the ship gave a lurch. They had finally thrown off the moorings and were heading steadily toward the distant sea.

Child was surprised to find that she was terribly excited and full of desire to reach their destination. How very strange, she thought.

Now that Bird was on board, Anagara had also decided to come along. She flew some steps ahead of the vessel. Child shook her head in puzzlement. It was clear that Angara knew exactly where they were going.
