A Busy Year at the Old Squire’s

CHAPTER II
10/19

It was a log camp, or rather two camps, placed end to end, and you went through the first in order to get into the second, which had no outside door.

The second camp had been built especially for cold weather.

It was low, and the chinks between the logs were tamped with moss.

At this time, too, snow lay on it, and had banked up against the walls.

Inside the camp, across one end, there was a long bunk; at the opposite end stood an old cooking-stove, that seemed much too large for so small a camp.
At dusk we dropped work, made for the camp, shut all the doors, built the hottest fire we could make, and thawed ourselves out.
