About This Book

A group of schoolboy friends, forced into an unexpected vacation after their school burns, join two acquaintances for a winter camping expedition. In the snowbound woods they establish a camp, practice hunting, trapping, and skating, and face physical dangers including deep drifts, wolves, a bear, and a hazardous cave. A series of puzzling incidents, missing furs, and a near-encounter with bandits provokes suspicion and a heated quarrel, which is settled through daring rescues, practical jokes, and mutual aid. The adventure strengthens their outdoor skills, friendship, and leaves them with durable memories.
