Ginger got a whole handful of candy for his part in the routing of the lumberjacks, and Hindenburg also helped himself liberally from the bag when Hippy put it down on the ground.
While eating their supper the Overlanders talked over their experiences of the day and the evening.

Miss Briggs declared that she would have been keenly disappointed if something had not occurred to stir them up at the outset of their journey.
"This getting into difficulties became a habit with this outfit on the very day that it set sail for France and the great world war," she said.
"I thank my stars that we are going into the woods where peace and the voices of nature reign supreme," spoke up Emma.
"Sometimes the voices of nature have a savage growl in them," reminded Tom Gray laughingly.

"Who is going to stand guard to-night ?" "No one," answered Grace, nodding to Hippy.
"Righto! The bull pup is the guard for this journey.

I brought Hindenburg along so that I might not lose sleep," answered Hippy, which stirred the Overland girls to laughter.

They had not forgotten that it was a habit with Hippy Wingate to go to sleep when on guard and leave the camp unprotected.
All hands being tired and stiff after their long ride, they turned in as soon as the supper dishes were washed and laid out to dry.
