birds, animals, trees, etc.

One needle-case, compact with needles and strong
white and black thread, wound on cardboard reels
(spools are too bulky). Scissors, thimble, and
large-eyed tape-needle for running elastic through
hem in bloomers and head-net, when needed.

Two papers of very large sized safety-pins of
horse-blanket kind.

One roll of tape, most useful in many ways.

One whistle, the loudest and shrillest to be
found, worn on cord around the neck, for calling
help when lost or in case of need. A short, simple
system of signalling calls should be adopted.

One compass, durable and absolutely true.

One watch, inexpensive but trustworthy. Do not
take your gold watch.

One package of common post-cards, with lead pencil
attached. The postals to take the place of
letters.

One package writing-paper and stamped envelopes,
if post-cards do not meet the needs.
