Log Drive Perils and a Rescue Overlooked by Camp Owner
In a spring log drive on the D. H. Jones river, owner D. H. Jones and daughter Florence monitor a vast mass of logs. A grounded log count grows as workers near the long rapids, while a recent theft scandal surfaces when Ike Brown, son of a discharged cook, is found to trail the logs. Jones resolves to hire Brown if he proves trustworthy, while Florence urges immediate action. A subplot recalls early pretzel baking in Lititz Pennsylvania and its spread through Lancaster County.
