quite otherwise during a tour of camping. Besides this, it is hardly
possible for a dozen young men to be gone a fortnight on a trip of this
kind without some quarrelling; and, as this mars the sport so much, all
should be careful not to give or take offence. If you are starting out
on your first tour, keep this fact constantly in mind.

Perhaps I can illustrate this division of labor.

We will suppose a party of twelve with one horse and an open wagon, four

2. Jack. Loading and unloading wagon.
3. Joe. Captain's assistant and errand-boy; currying horse.
4. Mr. Smith. Cooking and purchasing.
5. Sam. Wood, water, fire, setting of table.
6. Tom. " " " " "
7. Mr. Jones.

It is essential that this be done, and it is best that only the stronger
