CAMP DEWEY BOYS
 SLEPT IN OPEl
Their Tents and Equipment Arrived
 Too Late for Cadets.


 Because their tents and other equip ment following them by water couldn't keep up and failed to reach Stoning- ton until well along in the evening Tuesday, most of the Junior Naval Reserve boys from Camp Dewey, near Norwich, slept in the open Tuesday night Hospitable dwelIers of the borough who learned of their predi- cament in many cases opened their homes to the boys and took In ali they could accommodate, but this was only a small part of the whole number and those not so fortunate had to bunk on the ground wherever a suitable spot could be found. Fortunately the weather was mild and the ground dry.
 The boys marched into the borough about 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon on the first stage Of their trip on foot to Providence and Boston. They made a fine appearance. They had permis- slon of Frederic Owen, new owner Of the Stanton tot. to pitch their tents there. Quite a number of the boys visited the camp during the afternoon and evening and talked to the boys.
 They left at S o'clock Wednesday morning to hike to Charleston, R. I. This time their equipment goes with them, as their boats could not meet them there and will probably join them at Providence, where the boys expect to visit Col. Lyman c. Goss, president of the association directing their work.
