A HIKE TO THE MOUTAINS 6 The Boy Scout Troop of 367 Squadron of Millinocket, Maine scheduled a field trip for October 2l|., 1959» The decision made was a trip to an unfamiliar mountain, five miles away. The name of the mountain was Mt. Katahdin, with an altitude of 5,208 feet. All arrangements were made before the trip was started. The scouts decided to start out at twelve o'clock, noon,of the twenty-fourth of October. On the night before the trip, three of the scouts notified the others that they would not bo able to accompany them on the field trip. However, the rost of the scouts would take the trip. All arrangements were fully carried put. Every scout was equipped with all practical articles. It was now twelve-o'clock,noon. The scout leader had not shown up as of yet. The boys decided to wait until twelve-thirty Finally they phoned their leader. They were told tnat their leader had received an emergency call end would not be able to be present. The scouts finally decide! to make the trip on their own. At one o'clock P.M., the scouts started out. The sum was shinning brightly and the air was warm and clear- The scouts had now walked an hour. They had reached the very foot of the moutain. They decided to take a rest before attempting to start their climb. After walking for about two more hours, the boys were just about exhausted. So they decided to take another rost before procooding any further. The scouts started again and proceeded on. They finally reached a massive lodge. The ledge was in two parts. As they drew closer, they could make out an entrance. This could be an entrance to a cave. All the boys approached the front of the entrance to the cave. The decision was made to enter, but with caution. The opening was an ontrance to an unknown cave. Tho cavo was very obscuro. With the aid of flash lights the boys ontered the cave. The ontrance of tho cave seemed to bo quite roomy. All at once they hoard a noise at one side. The scouts showed their lights to the side and saw chipmunk struggling up the wall. Tho scouts wore now about thirty feet in the cave. All at once, one of the scouts suggested that they find their way out and explore tho cave more thoughly when their leader was accompaning them. Tho next moment after this suggestion, every scout was suddenly shocked. Because tho word Leader brought to thoir attontion an undesirable thought. This thought was that thoir loader had tho only knowledge or map

of tho mountain they wen on at tais very moment. All were suddenly motionless. At tais tense moment, tho boys almost automatically turned and started toward tho exit. Tho scouts found thoir way out of the cave and began wondering what direction they had come from. They tried to calculate tho direction to go by tho location of the sun, but tho sun was practically down by now. They walked and walked, but seemed to get no whoro oxcept moro and more lost. Tho scouts decid- ed that they should stop and settle down to camp for the night. This would bo tho bost way, because it was growing dark now and thoy would not be ablo to roach homo boforo total darkness. Tho scouts built a small firo between two stones and kept it going all night to koop down tho chill on the mountain. Each scout took his turn staying on duty about ovory half hour to koop tho firo At length, it would bo daybreak and tho boys would bo ablo to toll tho direction when tho sun rose. When tho sun roso tho boys worked out directions f’rom tho East to tho directions of thoir town. They walked and walked, until suddenly thoy hoarl what sounded like a whistle, which sounded like the seven O’clock shop whistle b?ex homo- Thoir hope3 wro rigtw, because thoy continued their journey in the direction jf tho sound of tho whistle, and finally reached tho .waging road with which they wore familiar. When. tho beys arrived homo, thoir parents wore tremor.- dously w err loci about thorn They told the boys that they had notified tho loader about their absence, and he told thor. net to worry bocauso they had. boon trained not to panic, but to mo choir heads This they did;both the scouts' parents and. thoir leader woro very plorscd to find how clovorly rhoy had found thoir way home-. David Westcot 0 A Terrible Experience One day in late June, Jane snd Bill Simmons were sitting on the sofa at their summer cottage)reading books. Did you see that flash? , asked Bill, It looked like lightning. Just then they saw another big flssh with thunder follow- ing. They knew then that they were going to have a shower be- cause the sky was full of big ugly looking clouds. Oh, I'm scared , cried Jane, Will it set the cottage afire ? When Mrs. Simmons heard Jane crying she rushed in to see what was p-oing on. After she had comforted her they all went in to have s lunch.
