“Never mind about that!” exclaimed Tom. “Just give us some grub and we’ll do the rest.”
“Where’s the bill of fare?” asked Jack. “I’m particular about what I eat.”
“Soup, corned roast beef, potato chips, bread, butter, jam, condensed milk and coffee,” rattled off Dick.
“I’ll take it all!” came from Bert.
“Same here!” chorused the other two, and soon the lads were passing around the food.
“Say, this is all right,” declared Tom, as he tasted the mock-turtle soup. They had brought along several cases of canned goods, soup among them.
“It’s easy to make,” explained Dick. “All you do is to open the can, chuck in some hot water, heat the mixture for a few minutes, and your soup is made.”
“How about the roast beef?” asked Bert.
“I—er—I boiled that,” explained Dick calmly.
