without confining them so that sudden gusts of wind shall not take them
into the flame.

[Illustration]

You may some time have occasion to make a shelter on a ledge or floor
where you cannot drive a pin or nail. If you can get rails, poles,
joists, or boards, you can make a frame in some one of the ways figured
here, and throw your tents over it.

These frames will be found useful for other purposes, and it is well to
remember how to make them.

FOOTNOTES:

[9] Barrel-staves will not do for a double bed.

[10] It will roll up easier if the quilting runs from side to side only.

[11] This applies, as will be seen, only to tents having two uprights,
as the wall, "A," and shelter.
