 on anything like this before Lee if you want long time ago but then it was just small teams maybe five or six on a side we didn't have a big place like this to hunt around in either wonder where they'll put the treasure probably in some place no one would think of looking for it maybe up as far as general Ben's place general Ben who's general Ben you know I mean the old soldier I told you all about oh but I didn't know his name before you didn't mention it I thought I did yeah his name is Benjamin Franklin Dent everybody calls him general Ben was he a real general nobody knows first time I ever saw him he was in town he out on a Spanish-American war tunic and a lot of medals and maybe he is a real general maybe I know that when he goes into any of the stores and ferrokes he gives commands as though he owns the whole town you know the funny part of the whole thing is that when he does talk everybody jumps Mac was telling me one time that old general Ben fought in three or four wars she that many well he must have been in the Spanish-American war and Mac said that he was in the Philippines and some of the Indian wars well that's three wars right there boy I'll bet he sure could tell some stories if he wanted to yeah I heard major Davis say once the general Ben has stuff in his cabin that a museum would like to own what kind of stuff oh Philippine mahogany carvings rugs from all over the world ivory statuettes things like that he picked them up from all over the world gee I'd give anything to see all that stuff no chance of that old general Ben keeps pretty much to himself well what's it good having all that swell stuff if nobody can look at it I guess he gets a kick out of it himself some people do you know just like to look at them say isn't all that stuff pretty valuable worth a lot of money must be at museums would like to have them I heard major Davis say that the rugs alone that is some of them are over a hundred years old must be pretty well worn out who'd want them for the oldest stuff like that gets the more valuable against didn't you ever hear of a collector paying thousands of dollars for an old ring or a little statue I guess general Ben doesn't realize he's got a lot of money after all I don't know what I've heard of the old fellow is pretty smart nobody can pull the wall over his eyes I guess not well there's Craig field mm-hmm yeah we're on the running track now yep see everybody in school turned out for this and everybody before red yeah I felt kind of sorry for him last night thought it out to be sure later done thick yeah getting back at red for all the nasty cracks red made at him and for the time read me to get under the shower with his uniform on say what do you suppose red meant by saying that he was gonna do something about it I don't know guess he was just letting off steam like you did when you said you were gonna ride splendor or nobody else would mr. Phillips if you don't mind I don't like to be reminded of that unpleasant episode in the life of Jerry Dugan Esquire okay Jerry hey we better get a move on the rest of the fellas are lining up come on the evening was perfect and now look hi Debbie yep how about you sure look at what you got there well if any of you guys are lucky to be on the same squad with me you won't get hungry only smokey he's got sandwiches stuffed in those pockets good night to be you know what happens if you get caught with those listen I'm not gonna be caught out on the lake shore with nothing to eat no telling how long this hunt might go on okay okay come on you're holding us up forward March one two three four one two three boy there sure has been a lot going on out here you ought to see the envelopes cap Carl Lockhart got from Captain Bogart what's in them I don't know instructions I guess hey I've got a hunch that they're really gonna make this hunt pretty tough I should worry I brought along my lunch hey there's Captain Lockhart now he's our team captain Lee yeah I know my run Radford's captain in the other team say I hope we're on the same squad oh there'll be more than three fellas on a squad should be I guess about four or five that'll make it about right gee Captain Lockhart is really loaded down with envelopes looks like we're really gonna have to work to get that treasure yeah I wonder what it is well don't worry about that until you get to it just remember there's another team out here that'll do everything it can to stop our team from getting to the treasure first all right right up you man we haven't got all night come on step on it I can see where I'm gonna have trouble all night if you guys are walking away with me this early in the game I see where I'll end up just taking a walk all by myself hold it will you that'll be if your legs could only match your appetite well I'm glad we're off those cinders what would you do if you had to run the quarter mile on them I dress for boy I worked up an appetite all right you man line up there all those on the gold team line up at the south end of the field come on come on snap it up south end well we're right here now we don't have to go any farther that's welcome news to these years I'm gonna arrest get it young off the ground get up yes sir I almost had a rest no resting field night toby I'm beginning to see that gee we've got a big team mm-hmm whole schools after this and when you divide a big school like Farrell's in half well you've got to put a good size team all right man that's captain Bogart right there I'm going to give you your instructions captain Gardner is giving the blue team its instructions pay attention now because no excuse will be accepted later each team will be divided off into squads as you know each squad will have a corporal appointed for the night by your team captain lockout each member of the gold team will wear one of these gold arm bands to be distributed immediately fastened the arm band on your left that he's gonna have trouble with that he can't tell us left foot from his white foot and drill I took care of that for the night I got a string tied to my left arm it's not your right arm now I know it that's to remind me to fasten it on my left leader cadets sergeant Conrad will distribute them while I'm giving the rest of the instructions attention now each squad corporal will be given an envelope containing clues clues as to the whereabouts of the first place you must look to find a hint leading to the second clue there are six clues and all the final clue leading directly to the treasure I needn't tell you the boundaries because the clues if you figure them out and follow them correctly will keep you well within bounds just a moment at ease boy is this gonna be fun I'll say hey here's your arm band they're passing them down the line yeah thanks thank you sir and you'll notice that I'm fasting it on my left arm right for once to be why can't you do that in drill wouldn't have to spend so much time with the dummy squad I like the dummy squad I meet a nice class of cadets one final word before your team captain passes them on you and appoints squads and corporals if any member of a team is captured by one of the opposing team the captured cadet must return to the gymnasium he's out of the game and may take no further pardon if you capture a man of the blue team take his arm band and keep it now if I were you I decide upon a route to take this game requires sharp wits luck has no part in it just skill and brains all right men that's all captain lucker take over yes sir first squad cadets deogan Phillips young and morley cadet Phillips yes sir you'll be corporal the first squad here the instructions you're not to open them until the whistle is blown for the start of the hunt after it blows each squad will be on its own avoid capture and get to the clues as quickly as possible and remember every squad in the other team will be trying to get there first lesson fellas let's get in there and win how about it leave it to us sir okay tell me I'll leave it to you second squad can Wallace why you wonder what the first clue is you even bet your life it won't be easy captain bogart said it would take brains getting cold feet about a tubby pull me cold feet listen high down not so much noise oh we're sorry corporal Phillips tell me snapped attention there if corporal Phillips a 45 degree angle slew I'm all out of 40 degree angles when you settle for a 40 degree corporal film so you're going to give me trouble are you cadet
