I opened my bag and took out the remnants of the luncheon which Mrs. Clark had given me that morning; and I was surprised and delighted to find, among the other things, a small bottle of coffee. This suggested all sorts of pleasing possibilities and, the spirit of invention being now awakened, I got out my tin cup, split a sapling stick so that I could fit it into the handle, and set the cup, full of coffee, on the ...coals at the edge of tht fire. It was soon heated, and although 1 spilled some of it in getting it off, and although it was well spiced with ashes, I enjoyed it, with Mrs. Claij-k's doughnuts and sandwiches (some of which I toasted with a sapling fork) as 'thoroughly, I think, as ever I enjoyed any meal.
