The boys are not very enthusiastic
over the enoampment, and It is dear
from what they say that it was a disap

was not a proper place for a camp. It
is too lnaaoessable a locality, he said.
It requires* twenty-four -hours to get
anything in the way of aopplies from
Brunswiok to the island.
In spite of tbe fact that the enoamp
ment did not oome np to ttie expecta

benefioial from a military standpoint to
all who went, and few were in the
camp Who did not get some genuine
