The Boy Scouts' Mountain Camp

"Hullo, Rob; what's up?" Merritt Crawford stopped on his way past the Hampton post-office, and hailed Rob Blake, the leader of the Eagle Patrol, of which Merritt was corporal. Both lads wore the natty scout uniform. "Not a thing is up or down, either," rejoined Rob, with a laugh; "it looks as if things had stopped happening in Hampton ever since that schooner was blown up." "And Jack Curtiss's hopes of a fortune with it," added Merritt. "Well, I'm off home. Going that way?"
