It was a strange camping outfit that Maben and Hal had evolved. Instead of a tent, they utilized the upper wing of Maben's old biplane as a roof over their heads. They had constructed hammocks of heavy canvas which could be suspended, one on each side of the fuselage, up under the top wing. The corners of a hammock were tied to the upper strut fittings, and when a fellow crawled into the three blankets inside, which were sewn up to form a bag, he was prepared for a comfortable night.
