Next he twisted the staff and the loop wastight about the ring. This gave the boy a great advantage. He pushed andpulled with all his strength, but the tough nose of the bull wasnot affected. Will saw the solution Tony had worked out and ran to hisaid. He was a strong boy, with big hands and wrists, and had agrip that would have caused many a man to wince.

A TEMPORARY CAMP The Shelter Tents Are Easily Carried on a Long Hike and on Field Days Make Good Dressing Rooms for the Athletes obeying the accustomed nose pressure, backed up and the manfell to the ground and crawled away. Will continued to hold the bull until the man had climbedthe fence and was safe. Then he released the bull by unwind-ing the thong about the nose-ring.

The man was not badly injured and the scouts hit the trailfor camp. 94 THE RIVER BATTLESHIP Experiments made later showed how the leather thongconld be used to make a chain of scout staves, by hitching theloop of one about the end of the other.
