Pretty soon we could see Haverstraw, but we didn't go
near it. We camped in a dandy place outside the town. And that's the place
where we had our big adventure. Maybe you'll remember how I said our hike
got tied in a knot in one place. Well, that was the place.
So now I'm going to tell you about that adventure. It has girls in it and
everything. And it shows you how boy scouts can be heroes. It has two
heroines, so maybe if you don't like one, you'll like the other. One's an
emergency heroine, that's what Harry said.
Now maybe if you've read all about our adventures up at Temple Camp, you'll
remember that my sister Marjorie was going to have a birthday party. I told
Mr. Ellsworth that I would like to go home for that party and go back to
Temple Camp the next day. Maybe you will remember about it, on account of
my saying that she was going to have coconut frosted cake.
Now on that night that we were camping near Haverstraw, I happened to think
about it being my sister's birthday. I just happened to think of it while
we were sitting around our campfire.
I said, "This is my sister's birthday and she's going to have a party and
coconut frosted cake and things, and I'd like to be there.
