ments of the day consisted of ball
playing, an old time beef roast with
the aid of three-pronged sticks over
an open fire, and the consumption of
watermelon that had very percepti-
bly, increased in weight as it was
lugged on weary shoulders over the
mountain.
All members of the party stood the
trip of twenty-some miles in good
shape, and report a most enjoyable
outing.
