Child went through all the provisions that her companions had brought. Rose was correct in saying they'd worked very hard for there were many supplies to be sorted and put away. They certainly had enough fish to last 50 hobbits for at least a week or more!

But Child knew some things were still missing, since none of the 'teeners had thought about the possibility of babes or children coming onto the Star. She knew there might be many young families, so she wondered if there was any way Bird or Levanto could miraculously come up with a source of milk for the little ones.

There were also various herbal remedies which she desperately needed. It made no sense to waste kingsfoil by using it on small wounds or minor illnesses. But such conditions still needed appropriate treatment.

She thanked everyone for their help, but then suggested Bird go out one more time. Meanwhile, she assigned Rose and Daisy to work on the job of gutting and cleaning the fish and all the other seafood.
