noon
Sahwah and Hinpoha returned to the tent red as roses from their exposure to the wind and rain and recounted their early morning adventure to Migwan and Gladys . At breakfast time they had to put on their ponchos again and pick their way through the puddles to the shack , where they ate their breakfast . The `` Mess Tent '' was leaking merrily in a dozen places . By noon there was still no let up in the downpour . Rest hour was spent on the floor in the shack . When Nyoda came in in the middle of the afternoon from a tour of inspection she announced that both the Alpha and Omega tents were leaking badly and the bedding was getting wet . She made the girls bring their blankets , rolled up in their ponchos , into the shack and spread them out before the fire .
