HARMONICA That night I heard music from somewhere upstairs. I found a young man who was sitting in his room playing the harmonica. His name was Bubba. I sat and listened to him. We didn't talk, but after about an hour, I asked, 'Can I try it?' and he said 'OK', and gave me the harmonica. I began to play. After several minutes, he asked, 'Where did you learn to play like that?' 'I didn't learn anywhere,' I said. On Friday night, I went to the Students' Centre. There were a lot of people there, and Jenny was wearing a long dress and singing. Three or four other people were in the group with her, and they made a good sound. Jenny saw me and smiled, and I sat on the floor and listened. It was wonderful. They played for about an hour, and I was lying back with my eyes closed, listening happily. How did it happen? I'm not sure. But suddenly I found that I was playing my harmonica with them! Jenny stopped singing for a second or two, and the others in the group stopped playing. Then Jenny laughed and began to sing with my harmonica, and then everybody was saying 'Wonderful!' to me. Jenny came to see me. 'Forrest, where did you learn to play that thing?' 'I didn't learn anywhere,' I told her. Well, after that, Jenny asked me to play with their group every Friday, and paid me $25 every time!

This swimmer and navigatorfirst appeared atthe end of the nineteenth century. For more than twenty years he had guided ships through dangerous waters. The incredible life-saver could not read or write, had no training and worked for nothing. The sailors called him Jack, and he was a dolphin. Near the coast of New Zealand, there is a very dangerous passage through the D'Urville Islands called French Pass. French Pass had a bad reputation until Jack arrived. Then for over twenty years, it was safe. For all those years, twenty-four hours a day, Jack met passing ships. He swam along at the side of the ship for miles, playing and jumping into the air, then diving under the ship and appearing on the other side. But when the ship reached the entrance to French Pass, Jack swam in front of the ship and stayed there, indicating the only safe channel through the Pass, until the ship was on the other side. In 1903, a passenger on board the Penguin drank too much and fired a gun at Jack. The sailors were angry and wanted to throw him into the sea, but the captain stopped them. Jack wasn't seen for two weeks and everybody thought he was dead. Then, one morning, he appeared again. After he was shot at by a passenger on the Penguin, Jack never met that ship again - the only ship he refused to accompany. With only a human pilot to guide it, the Penguin hit some underwater rocks in the Pass a few years later and was lost. Jack probably died of old age in 191 2, but he wasn't forgotten. The story of his life-saving ability is recorded on a statue erected to his memory on the beach of Wellington.

Indeed, the streets were so narrow that it was often possible for a person at a window on one side of the street to shake hands with a neighbour on the other side. There was little light and air. Rubbish lay piled up in dark corners. It is no wonder that epidemics were common. The greatest epidemic of the plague broke out in 1665. It was a sad time for London. The streets were empty, shops were closed and there were few boats on the Thames. Every house in which there were sick people was shut up, and no one was allowed to go in or out, and the door of the house was marked with a red cross. The following year the Great Fire took place. It broke out late on a Saturday night in a street not far from London Bridge. The summer had been dry, a hot east wind blew and the fire spread quickly. This is what we read in the diary of John Evelyn, who saw the terrible fire with his own eyes. The Thames was covered with boats full of people. On the other side one could see carts carrying out the saved goods out into the fields and people putting up tents. At night the fire could be seen ten miles away. The fire burnt for five days and destroyed the greater part of the city. But it did the city good, as it cleared away the old wooden houses and dirty, narrow streets. A monument near London Bridge still marks the spot where the fire broke out. Sir Christopher Wren, the famous architect of that day, took part in rebuilding the city. The greater part of it had been of woods, but after the fire wider streets and brick houses were built. The old church of St. Paul was among the buildings destroyed by the fire. In its place Wren built the present St. Paul's Cathedral. He lies buried under the roof of his own great work. These words are written on his grave: "Reader, if you want to see his monument, look around".
