Sir Robert Baden-Powell paid very
high praise to the work done by these
lads, who. without any officers watch
ing them, but working simply under
their own boy leaders, We're doing their
patriotic duty to their country. "Ev-
cry night without fail" he continued,
these boys have carried dispatches
along that wild coast down to the ad-
miral ut the base, and they do about
six miles every night. 1 saw the one
