confidence in himself, shouts as he makes the leap, and just before
his feet touch the ground: "Spanish Fly!"

At once the fun begins in wild earnest. The boy who just shouts is
regarded as leader. The second time he makes the leap he cries:

The player that fails to follow the leader's example becomes "it." On
the third turn the leader shouts: "Hats on deck," and he places his
cap on First Back's shoulders and goes over without knocking it off.

If this trick is successfully completed, and it rarely ever is, the
leader goes over again, this time shouting: "Hats full of water." As
he leaps, he turns his hat so that it rests upside down on his head.
