The story is about "Luck and the Roll and Go." The story is very good. Luck is a sea cat. He ran away from his master. He went down to the ship called the "Roll and Go." He got on deck just in time. He got down in the coal bin. The stoker shoveled some coal in. The shovel picked up the cat. He stayed on the boat from then on. Phyllis Lyman. : I saw a picture of an Egyptian boat. The Egyptians had slaves at that time. The slaves were brown. They had hard work to do. An Egyptian boat has the shape of flowers on the ends. They had as many decorations as: possible on their boats. Their1 boats had sails of linen. Gloria Limb. FOURTH GRADE I (The Story of Milford Continued)!
