About halfway between Eltham and Stratford, an unusual camp has bqen established. It is in the nature of a dug-out. The ingenious builder selected a portion of a deep ditch where at one time tar in drums was stored to keep it away from the sun. With drums that have been cut in half, making useful sheets of iron, a serviceable and waterproof shelter has been erected. For beds, the place has been lined with dry fern. A handy fireplace has also been constructed by simply using a discarded d?um through which a bar has been affixed. Altogether it is a very comfortable camp, and it is out of sight of the roadway, so that the gre/it majority of passers-by are not aware of its £resencs. *.
