We then went on, and at last found a place where no one was
living, and decided to claim it in the name of the government.
We then put up the tent, although not as tight as it should have
been, owing to the Adams's chauffeur not letting us have his
wrench to drive the pins in with, and were ready for the day's
work.
We have now had luncheon and the Quartermaster, Jane, is
burning the papers and so on.
After I have finished this Log we will take up the
signaling. We have decided in this way: Lining up in a row, and
counting one to ten, and even numbers will study flag signals,
and the odds will take up telagraphy, which is very clearly
shown in the Manual.
After that we will have exercises to make us strong and
elastic, and then target practise.
We have as yet no guns, but father has one he uses for duck
shooting in the fall, and Betty's uncle was in Africa last year
and has three, which she thinks she can secure without being
noticed. We have passed this Resolution: To have nothing to do
with those of the other Sex who are not prepared to do their
Duty.
