In any event, there is little use fussing over it now.\u003cbr\u003eAt the request of the Police Department, the Fire Brigade, the Department of Education, the Stagnant Swamp Scout Brigade and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Bunyips, there will be no more camping trips for Class 6B in future.\u003cbr\u003eI hope this letter has cleared up any misunderstandings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYours sincerely\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMr Creechley\u003cbr\u003ePrincipal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story recounts the adventures of Class 6B prior to the letter, and explains why it needed to be sent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring this adventure you will be haunted by the spooky spectacle of the Swagman’s Ghost!
