304 The Book of Woodcraft 



By the bed competition, all were taught how easy it is 

 to make one's self comfortable in the woods. 



The water-boiling was particularly instructive and was 

 tried twice. The first time the winner took 14 minutes, 

 and the second best 20. The last time, the winner's time 

 was 8 minutes, and the second one's 10. 



Even the imitations of monkey, lynx, cat, panther, 

 moose, etc., developed a keen observation, and a lot of 

 good natural history that was intensely interesting a? well 

 as amusing.
