About this ebook

Roy Blakeley's Funny-bone Hike by Percy Keese Fitzhugh is about Roy Blakeley's adventures with his friends heading out towards Temple Camp. When they play "follow the leader" with Hervey Willetts, they suddenly find themselves amidst glorious hijinks. Excerpt: "Oh, boy, that started us off. We were like horses when they hear a brass band. Hervey gave me a shove and said, "Go ahead, start, you're the only patrol leader here, it's up to you." "It's your game," I said. "Go ahead, lead," he began laughing, "and let's keep it up till we get to Temple Camp. It's no fun if you flunk." That was just like him, he didn't care who led as long as he was moving. That fellow goes off in the woods a lot by himself and he doesn't care anything about merit badges himself. He's a funny kind of a scout but he's awful generous. He can't keep still, that's one thing about him. Most scouts are always trying for things but all he cares about is action—he eats it alive."
