It soon became evident that the squirrel- 
families would have to be more severely 
dealt with, for more than once they had dis- 
turbed the little birds on their nests, and in 
some cases had been known to destroy their 
eggs; so a plan was formed to transport one 
or two of the squirrel families to another 
portion of the woods, and thus leave the rob- 
ins and the warblers in undisputed posses- 
sion near the camp. 
At length came the plans for the opening 
of the doors of the temporary trap, to intro- 
duce the squirrels to their new forest home. 
Where the lake laps the shore, several 
rowboats were drawn up in line and it was 
but the work of a moment to embark, for all 
the interested members of the little group 
could enter readily into the child’s feelings. 
The morning was one of the gems of June, 
with crystal sky and lake. As the boats sped 
out towards the further shore the wise little 
creatures in the box crowded further back.
