Water-Boiling
|
|
by Ernest Thompson SetonGiven a hatchet and knife, 1 match, a 2-quart pail 7 inches or so in diameter, one quart of water and a block of soft wood about 2 feet long and 5 or 6 inches through. First cut plenty of wood. Spend 3 minutes on it. Support your pail on 4 pegs driven in the ground or by a long stick driven diagonally into the ground. If water is handy, dip the pegs into it before placing. The contestant does everything for himself. The water must be jumping and bubbling all over the surface, or it is not boiling. If the first match goes out, contestant is usually allowed a second, but is penalized by having 2 minutes -added to his time. Nothing but the articles mentioned may be used. |
