The Boy Scouts to the Rescue (1911)
With the pitching of their tents, a regular routine of camp life is begun, and every phase of a soldier's duties are carried with remarkable faithfulness and military precision. Likewise the healthful sports they indulge in, swimming, diving and wrestling and all sorts of athletic sports and games, tend to build up both mind and body. But something unexpected happens. A splendid little fellow, venturing beyond his depth, gives one loud cry and sinks. In an instant several strong lads are battling in the turbulent stream, from whence they finally rescue their comrade. The work of resuscitation is begun and soon their efforts are blessed with success. When the first meal has been prepared and "finished off" in a hearty manner, three scouts are dispatched on the lookout for Indians. The Indians have meanwhile held a pow-wow and learning of the scouts' approach, they form an ambuscade, descend on the scouts and capture tow, the third eluding escape. This scout wigwags to the camp for aid, and they having heard the shots, start in pursuit. The most stirring scene is where the youngsters are seen gagged and tied to a tree, fires blazing around their feet, while the red devils execute their horrible war dance, with fiendish howls of glee. But bold rescuers are at hand and the enemy is put to ignominious flight in the most gallant fashion, and the young scouts are saved from the fire and tomahawk. But the work of the boys is seen in another direction. Their adeptness in rendering "First aid to the injured: now comes into play, and not only are their comrades the recipients of this benign service, but also their wounded Red adversaries. Later the Red men call a council of peace and the pipe is passed around, and a happy conclusion is soon arrived at by means of "Peace Signals" exchanged between the scouts and the Red men.
