P. 67
Not just the place itself, but the journey! Times without
number, the same procedure has to be endured. Perhaps it’s all
the excitement, perhaps it’s because they are away from
parental control. But after the first five to ten miles have been
completed, when either two or three boys have been heartily
sick, the remainder begin demanding “how long before we get
there”, or “we’re hungry Akela can we have our lunch now”.
AKELA
Akela by the way is the traditional title for the leader of the
wolf cub pack. All based on Rudyard Kipling’s “Jungle Book”.
Likewise the
assistant
leaders have
similar names
from the said
book.
