Scout Department. EVENING JOUR-
NAL:
we. Senior Patrol Leader Martin,
First Glass Scout Wills, and myself
left Martins house at $50 and went
il. town at a brisk pace. We crossed
Washington street bridge at S.45. out
Washington street to Twenty-fourth
thon down to Market street, and out
Market street was the route we took
ve were making about three miles an
hour and as It was cool. we felt
sure we could keep II up. When We
reached Penny Hill we slowed down
and about half way up we stopped
and each one took a big drink 20 last
us all the way to Chester Just be-
yord the top OF Penny Hill. We mei

but there our troubles began. Their
are good cement walks through 9Th

but we certainly needed them here.
Wills had no staff, so I would vaul
the puddle and throw the staff bac

part OF the country is located i
Marcus Hook. and as We walked b.
We attracted a good deal of attentio
from the employees. When we reache
the end Of the paving. Il was awfu
We waded along with the mud nea
our shoe tops and our puttees &c
full OF the black sticky mess. II IN
roads here hadn't been so bad. W
%@seGid have made much better tim
With the rapid pace and bad watkins
we were all pretty hungry by thi
time and when we reached Traine
