In, fact, we went.fully oîe- haîf a block when we, of, necessity, changed a fiat inside reartire. With. out much delay we were on our way agimaking a non-stop 'trip (re- fueling fromn a gasoline, barrel on the truck. with the aid of a riabber hiose) asfan as Clintonville, Wis., where we stopped. for lunch-fair.

T:iýý last' few. provisions were brought there and we% were on our way to Ma-Ka-ja.Wan,,~where we had plan- ned to spend the nighit before pro-. ceeding to Fence lake, the -jumping off place" of our paddle. Al was still well till we got out of Antigo about five miles and got into loose gravel. Ili'this the truck stopped, ,grunted, growled, and ne- fused to. go any ianther.. At~ the side of road we waited for a tow truck fnom the garage in Antigo to, take us back to town. Back in Antigo ididn't take the mechanic long to find the trouble which, we found, Would require somne time.to fix. mnas-, Much as no parts were to be found: in Antigo. With the scouts- enjoy- ing the' matinee the mechanic set. to work to create parts for the tr uck. Supper. time came and supper-but the' truck was stili dismantled. *Bythis time word had been sent to *back and by 10:30 we were on oun l way to Fence lake witb ýthree canoes, 'u * our duff le, food and bigh hàpes.
