PREFACE
Every one who loves outdoor life knows the charm and thepleasures of camping. To look back on the days passed in a tentby the shore of some forest lake or stream is a source ofnever-ending enjoyment to those of us who have had thatexperience. In this book I have tried to describe the adventuresof four boys who spent a vacation camping in the Adirondacks,and who indulged in water sports of various kinds while there.Many of the episodes are true or at least founded on theexperiences of former boys who enjoyed them. If the boys who mayread this tale will derive some of the pleasure in hearing aboutthem that the real boys did in participating in them I shallfeel repaid.
