The members of our select few were An-dy WQ13- ster, our first lieutenant, Bo-boi' Breck, our earfly riser, Lemon Bowen, a man of phil-os-ophy, Bobby Chase, the Eroes -of the party, f'Brad'l Higgins, the dreamer, J Photograph by Brooke Stoddard LINED UP FOR GOOD EATSV' Phil Knapp, Dave Moo-re, of broa.d stature, Dave Smith, an-d Tommy Wilkinso-11. Under' 't-he -guidanc-e of No-rdie and Bunn our camp was speedily fortified against wind and rain. Our supplies' were arranged in the neat- est of order and our qc-omm-issary was the pri-de of al-l. In- the mean- time Dave QMoorej succeeded in sliding down the cliff without damage to either. Rest period foll-owed dinn-er. At 3 230 we had a short swim. After sup-per' we listened to g'Charlie Stanwood givl? ifo-r perhaps 'takej a saxophone lesson on Belle Island, and then retired. The next mo-rn-ing the entire camp was awakened by the sound of all axe. N-ordi-e discovered 'KB-oboi' industriousily chopping wood.

THE PASQUANEY ANNUAL 25 The foll-owing morning contained little of interest except that enough wood w'as gathered by everyone on th-e party t-o hold us f-or the rest of the week. In the afternoon we played ho-st to mem-be-rs of the Cliffe and Hornets part-ies, respectively. A thrilling water baseba-ll game t-ook placeg in fact it was so thrillin-g and we-ll-worth watching that we eve-n felt i't our pleasure to have -the hon-o-r of viewing it. An extra inning was necessary to- break the existing dead- l-ock at the end of the gameg hen-ce t-he game was fair enough from our standpoint. Thursday morn-ing was an ex- tremely eventful one in com-pari-son with the preceding -ones. When the doctor arrived a go-od bit of mail arrived in which were contained some College Board marks.

This time luck was more -our way. Nevertheless, we had to do some high class debating :t-o- finally win the game 'by the score of 3--Z. After some C-liffite-s had returned to 'Cres- cent for various articles of clot-hin-g which they had left beh-ind in their first visift, we got to work o-n the tradition-al 'ffeedf' Per usual it was just about the 'most enjoyable part of the camping party, at least it was for those who appreciate good food.

THE PASQUANEY ANNUAL 27 two hours we arose, some of us -amid a barrage of pine cones. After an icy dip' we 'had breakfast. The wind had co-me up 'and 'ther-e was a high sea running. Then' mulch to our amazement, Brookie Stoddard appeared from 'the Woods- with a tale of woe. His- m-otorbo-at and Belle Is-land's skiff had cow-ed -and he desired our aid. We fo-llo-wed -him to the scene of disas'ter and dis- covered that the boats had been rescued 'by Charlie Stanw-ood. In the afterno-on '6Lemo'n f-oll-owed 5'Dave Moore's example to the extreme and op-ened the swimming season with a rush. .In the evening around the campfire we listened to thrilling stories to-ld by 'gBun and B-obo. VVednesday morning it threate-ned to r.ain. The camp ate flapjacks co-o-ked by Bun for breakfast. Dinner was fo-lilowed by a two hour res't period in which we listened to the exploits o-f P-enrod and Sam as read by Bun and Bobo, Then the whole camp but N-or-die set sail towards Maybeth's- .Pantry to procure some -doughnuts and pie-s which were t-erm-ed by Nor-die as pois-on. VVe returned sucices-sfuilly except for t'he fact that Bunn broke two- oars in a sprint as we neared camp. Aft-er another seren-aide by Charlie Stanwood we slumbered. The last day was a-cc-ompanied by a little rain in t-he mo-rning. Dave QSmi'thj received a large box of marshmallows in th-e mail. In the evening we had a wonderful supper cooked by Nordie and Andy, We sa't up very late around the campfire and voted statistics as followsr Best Camp-er Dave', CSmithj Mos-t Helpful B-o-bo Most Cheerful Bobby Mo-st Improved Brad W'ater Rat Dave Ct-he o-therj QR.

The speaker looke-d with rapt attenti-on at Qld Sam who sat splicing ropes on the jetty. Sam st-opp-ed his work and, filling hi-s batter-ed o-ld pipe, m-aide a comfortable seart for himself on ia pile of tarpaulin, -and began this tale -of adventure. It wafs b-ack in the July of '29 as I recolalecit that the Skipper jsent a party of us out o-n an- expedition to the lonely I-Iornets' Cove. The party was ta'kin'- orders from Shelly Roots with Whiti-e Whiting ship- pin' als first mate and Ballyh-oo-ly Howland as bos'un.
