Book 3 — Lighting a Match in the Wind
Reading edition
To light a match in a stiff wind is very easy if the wood part back of the prepared end is cut and turned up about it before striking the match. The curled-up shavings about the striker will catch fire easily and hold a flame, where in the ordinary way it is easily blown out when the composition of the striker has burned up.—Contributed by E.
