After going fireless for a part Of

The fact that no Boy Scout troop

but citizens, including the sheriff gave
the party a royal welcome and made
them feel at home. AS guest Of S.
H. Bullock and family the boy were
taken on launch trip to several in

Island. That night while the scouts
were at church, rainstorm flooded
their tent, but they were invited to
spend the night at the home Of Harry
Woodall, where they had dry beds.
The trio was joined at Kissimmee
by Douglas King, another Fort My
