"What is the name of the camp--Pocono?" asked Harriet for the sake of

"Camp 'Wau-Wau' is the name. It is a Chinook Indian name. 'Wau-Wau' is a

corresponds to the 'pow-wow' of the braves. Now you know all about it. We
shall start from here on the noon train Saturday."

Four happy-faced girls, accompanied by the teacher, had left the train at
Jamesburg, from where they were to be conveyed by wagon into the woods.
