Thorpe saw three large buildings, backed end to end, and two smaller ones, all built of heavy logs, roofed with plank, and lighted sparsely through one or two windows apiece.

The driver pulled up opposite the space between two of the larger buildings, and began to unload his provisions.

Thorpe set about aiding him, and so found himself for the first time in a "cook camp." It was a commodious building,--Thorpe had no idea a log structure ever contained so much room.

One end furnished space for two cooking ranges and two bunks placed one over the other.

Along one side ran a broad table-shelf, with other shelves over it and numerous barrels underneath, all filled with cans, loaves of bread, cookies, and pies.
