Clavering had tied the boat to a
tree in a little inlet far down the

through a wood OF spruce trees

rigid columns Of the spruce. A

break that silence but the faint
constant murmur in the tree-tops.

"A little later we see them band

the preamble of whose constitution

setting forth the highest ideals and

Just little later, we see the
officers Of the great organization
