Frank was just finishing dressing in his tent when he heard the others uttering exclamations of surprise outside.

"What's the matter?" he demanded aloud.

Frank joined the group, and as he glanced at the document he found it to be what might be called a warning, reading like this:

NOTICE!

Better leave here at once, or it will be bad for all of you!
