He instantly crossed, and made a swift march towards the would-be marauders, camping on Boyd's Creek. The scouts were out by sunrise next morning December 16th, and speedily found the Indian encampment, which the warriors had just left. On receipt of the news Sevier ordered the scouts to run on, attack the Indians, and then instantly retreat, so as to draw them into an ambuscade.
When it is over and the dishes are cleaned and put away, and the camp slicked up, there comes the usual two hours of lounging, smoking, and story telling, so dear to the hearts of those who love to go a-fishing and camping.
"Now, about clothes " began Nancy Brown, and her friends all smiled. "Well, one must have clothes, even on a camping trip. Don't you think a blue corduroy would be attractive, with a touch of coral pink in the silk tie, say; and high russet walking boots the kind that lace, you know " "They must have rubber soles," put in Billie, "no matter what the tops are."
It is true that Leicester, who was apt to be sanguine- particularly in matters under his immediate control spoke of the handful of recruits assembled at his camp in Essex, as "soldiers of a year's experience, rather than a month's camping; "but in this opinion he differed from many competent authorities, and was somewhat in contradiction to himself.
They walked to Allen's the first day, and, after a brief visit there, went off in the deep woods, camping on a pond in thick-timbered hills. Coming to the lilied shore, they sat down a while to rest. A hawk was sailing high above the still water. Crows began to call in the tree-tops. An eagle sat on a dead pine at the water's edge and seemed to be peering down at his own shadow.

These will do very nicely for your rough camping trip!" Compared to Mary Lou, Susan was a very poor shopper.
Mabie couldn't be along; for Jesse says he is the most entertaining man alive," grunted Bluff. "Oh, you forget that he said by the time we got there the work would slacken up, and he promised himself a vacation, just to renew his old pleasure of camping out in the wilderness, away from all mankind," laughed Frank. "That relieves my mind some," declared Bluff, brightening up.
Then, too, it must be borne in mind that, as already stated, 'campaigning' in France that is, the marching, camping, and subsisting of an army is an easy matter, very unlike anything we, had during the war of the rebellion.
"Let's, then!" cried impulsive Mollie. "But do you really intend to do any camping, Betty?" "Yes, if we can. Of course not for any length of time say a night or two. There are one or two places where camps are open the year around, and all you have to do is to go there and board, just as you would at a hotel." "Only it must be much nicer," said Amy. "It is lots."
We went by the way that is called "Golden" now, but of course there was no such place then, that being the general camping place before going up into the mountains.
