Transcriber’s Notes
Reading edition
Copyright notice provided as in the original—this e-text is public domain in the country of publication.
Silently corrected palpable typos; left non-standard spellings and dialect unchanged.
Twice changed one name (Andy Wallace) to “Wallis” to be consistent with other places in this book (and other books in the series).
In the text versions, delimited italics text in _underscores_ (the HTML version reproduces the font form of the printed book.)
Included the printed page 158 as a blockquote: it actually comprises page 158 of another book in the series, “The Boy Scouts as Forest Fire Fighters”.
Added (in brackets) a tentative reconstruction of the beginning of the sentence at the top of page 159.
