He pulls a hatchet from under the cover of the wagon and chops at some dead branches on a stand of pines. "These should burn hot for a while." After bundling these up, he carries them back past the wagon - dropping off the axe and getting the cooking pot. He puts in a little water from the wagon's water barrel, hoists the bundle of branches, and returns to the cave.After dropping off the pot and wood, he exits again and climbs to the top of the ridge above the cave. The ridge he is standing on tops out about 1/4 mile from the cave entrance and maybe 150 feet higher.  The ridge drops off quickly to the south and it appears that there is a small stream running east-west at the bottom. Looking further south, all he sees are rocky hills and ridges as far as he can see.  "Limestone and shale - area must be full of caves."Wrinkle returns to the cave, opens his pack and pulls out his pipe, stuffs a bit of baccy in it, and lights it using a twig from the fire.  He sits back, by the hidden door, and hums a little while finding his ocarina.  When things seem to be settling down a little, he relays what he saw, glancing at the pot hoping there is rabbit or squirrel stew simmering.</blockquote>
