. Two little savages : being the adventures of two boys who lived as Indians and what they learned.

Sam was interested in the White-mans Woodcraftchiefly on Yans account, but Blackhawk was <evidently impressed with the study itself, and said. Little Beaver, Ill give you one more to do. Canyou measure how far apart those two trees are onthat bank, without crossing? Yes, said Yan; easily. So he cut three poles6, 8 and 10 feet long and pegged them together in atriangle (page 507). Now, said he, ABCis a right angle; it must be, when the legs of thetriangle are 6, 8 and 10; thats a 506 ?j White-Mans Woodcraft He placed this on the shore, the side A B pointing tothe inner side of the first tree, and the side B C as nearlyas possible parallel w;^h the line between the twotrees. Then he put in a stake at B, another at C,and continued this line toward K. Now he slid histriangle along this till the side G F pointed to E, andthe side H G in line with C B. The distance fromD to E, of course, is equal to B G, which can bemeasured, and again the tape line showed Yan tobe nearly right. This White-mans Woodcraft was easy for him,and he volunteered to teach the other Indians, butthey thought it looked too much like school. Theyvoted him a coup on finding how well he coulddo it. But when Raften heard of it he exclaimedin wonder and admiration, My, but thats mighti-ful! and would not be satisfied till the couf wasmade a grand coup.
