Now testing with the padding and by leaving the div off the end, the border goes around below text.

"in Case of Fire In Tent" - "If serious, lay hold of the bottom of the bedding and pull out, and with a blanket smother the fire, quickly. If fire is caught in time you can smother it. Let the tent go, but save the outfit therein, if possible. You can improvise shelter but not the outfit, so safe that part first."

F.H. Buzzacott - 1908

"WRINKLES AND KINKS FOR FISHERMEN, ANGLERS, ETC." "The Best Times" "... For trout fishing is at night then large fish are active. Select a quiet spot near a deep hole, and leave it for a night trial. Cut a few branches and group them around so as to hide yourself behind them. Do this the day before you fish the spot. Cast over and draw your bait or fly quietly over the top of the water. If big trout are there you'll quickly get a rise."

F. (Francis) H. Buzzacott was an outdoorsman and explorer in the 19th and 20th century. Any quotes and references to F.H. Buzzacott are from his book; "THE COMPLETE AMERICAN AND CANADIAN SPORTSMAN'S ENCYCLOPEDIA OF VALUABLE INFORMATION" The revised edition of his book was dated, 1908. The copy we have was gifted to my Grandfather, (also an ardent woodsman), on the sixth of June, 1908.

While reading these interesting and sometimes quirky (but only to us in the 21st century) short briefs, please keep in mind the year this information was written. There are many excellent and interesting bits of information that is still valid in today's world.
