west side Of Mount Desert island, on Echo

Twenty boys from the towns Of Mount
Desert island, with the Y. NJ. c. A. secre-

three companies, and assigned to tents
for each tent. The boys under these lead
| ers at once began the erection OF the
tents. and the making Of the bunks.

| cushioned with boughs. The boys found
these accommodations as comfortable az
| could be desired, whether the weather
WAS wet or dry.

the results Of the efforts OF the cook,
Noyes, and the boys appetites, never very
poor, we're whetted to extreme keenness
