Sabby becomes
a mermaid

Sabrina has taken to the water in Sydney like a mermaid - fishing, sailing, cruising and swimming.

On the M.V. Noela as the guest of skipper John Barraclough, she wore a royal-blue yachting sweater presented to her by radio man Jack Davey as a trophy for she sharks she did not catch on a recent big-game fishing expedition outside the Heads.

The cats on Clark Island intrigued Sabrina who went ashore to make friends.

Fish that got away were pursued with a net by Sabrina, who almost went overboard for a catch. Sabrina was a champion schoolgirl swimmer.

Sabrina took her turn at the wheel and handled the big cruiser as expertly as her sportscar.
