Then they were hooked to the covered pole wagons and the work of transporting the village to the lot was begun. The show grounds were on an island, now, entirely surrounded by water. Some of the clowns had rigged up fishing outfits and sat on the bank in the rain trying to catch fish, though there probably was not a fish within a mile of them, according to Phil's idea.
I'll stay here and hurry your wagon forward, and wait for Bob and Quince. That lead herd beyond the river is bound to be Jim's, and he's due to camp on this mesa to-night, so these outfits must give him room. If Dave and Paul are still free to act, they'll know enough to water and camp on the south side of the Platte.
Andy knew what that was the structure containing the programmes and general advertising and posting outfits of the show. He had noticed it earlier in the day. A wagon inside the tent, with steps and windows, comprised the manager's private office. Little Midge was sitting up playing with some show children who had brought in a lot of toys. Andy went outside with Billy.

This immense mass of luggage and food, flung ashore in mountains by the steamers, was beginning slowly to dribble up the Dyea valley and across Chilcoot. It was a portage of twenty-eight miles, and could be accomplished only on the backs of men.
It was the era of the grandiose. Even conversation reflected this characteristic. The myriad bootblacks had grand outfits and stands. The captain of a ship offered ten dollars to a negro to act as his cook. The negro replied, "If you will walk up to my restaurant, I'll set you to work at twenty-five dollars immediately."
Thus did these lassies, accustomed to daintiness in their daily lives, accommodate themselves to the necessities of war, as easily and cheerfully as the soldier boys themselves. That day the rest of the outfits arrived, and they all pulled into Morte Fontaine. Morte Fontaine was well named because there was no water in the town fit to use.
To radiate good-will, take things as they come and enjoy them, and to do your full share of entertainment and fun-making this is the true camp spirit. =Camp Outfits. Clothing. Personal Outfits. Camp Packs. Duffel-Bags and What to Put in Them=
