│ ││ │ bodies are easily warmed and dried at the hut fire. │
│ ││ │ Thus they care little about rain. And, being exposed │
│ ││ │ to the sudden storms of a semi-tropical climate, │
│ ││ │ they are constantly found sitting in wet flannels │
│ ││ │ and jerseys, and suffer much from coughs and colds. │
