Explore "In the Camp of the Black Rider" by Capwell Wyckoff on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The words which Ted shouted to the boys in the tent struck them dumb for a moment, but to their ears was borne the sound of the snapping and crackling. They rushed out of the tent into the open space of the camp, to see the dry pine grove above them glowing with fire.
Ted was running toward the truck for pails and the boys, awakening to the seriousness of the situation, followed him. Some of them made a hurried trip to the cooking supplies which were piled near the fireplaces, snatching up the pots and pans. Ted pulled out all of the pails which were in the truck and handed them around as fast as possible.
