Mr. B. told the explorers to get off the road. Only three were walking on the road when they came. They whipped their car into the dirt road right there. When we reached them they were strung across the road. The one boy who seemed to be the ring leader was showing his light in one face after the other. When the other scouts walked owt two of the boys jumped back in the car. Mr. B. wanted to know why they were picking on the explorers. He told them to get out of here and go where they belonged. One boy said he belonged here, another said he was free, white and twenty one. Mr. B. said you may be free and white but he didn’t look twenty one and should be home in bed in- stead of out there. Mr. B. grabbed the ring leader, by the arm and the boy said “don’t you hit me or I will have you arrested.” Mr. B. pro- pelled him toward his car and told him to get out of here. ! Mr. B. made a note of the license number of the car. The one boy who said he was white, free and 21, didn’t have a shirt on and if they used measurements for boys his would be 22-21-22 and his arms would measure about six inches where his muscles should be. We turned our back on them and walked backed to camp. When we were leaving they started to call us names and ridicule us. Mr. B. said just keep moving. We had only gone a little way when the .oar headed in our direction. We ran off the road. the end of the road they turned around and came back. Thinking that they might make a pass at us with the car Mr. B. picked up a rock to let them have it if they did. They didn't and they stopped and said one of the boys had thrown a rock and had cracked the wind- shield, the crack looked like an old one. We were just getting into bed when they came down the driveway to Wilson's, turned aronmA »nd raced out again, evidentally looking for us. When we heard them com- ing Mr. B. told the scouts to put out the light. They were so excited | that they couldnt get it out. Some excitement. Every time we heard a noise all night we thought it was them sneaking up on us. Once during the night Bill | thought he heard a noise and got up and investigated it. When he came back (not finding anything) he reached in and grabbed Tim's leg and Tim came up fighting the tent.
