mud-spattered rubbish. But the girl
had far too much to think about to
feel any concern over the mere dam.

rather a relief to find something that

spread them out on a ledge in the
clear sunshine. While her firewood
was drying she scraped away the mud
and litter heaped upon her rude
hearth. She then began a search for
lost articles. When she dug out the
pottery ware she found her favorite
stew pot and one of the platters in
fragments. The drying -frames for the
meat had been blown away, and so
had the antelope and hyena skins.
Catching sight of a bit of white
down among the bamboos, she went to
it. and was not little surprised to
see the tattered remnant of her duck
skirt. 1t had evidently been torn from
the signal staff by the first gust of the
cyclone, whirled down into the cleft
by some flaw or eddy in the wind, and
wadded SO tightly into the heart of the
'hick clump of stems that all the fury

must keep up signal on the cliff.

from noticing the moccasins.
