"the addition of some water will make a splendid shower bath"????

Yep, I think they're talking about the summertime--"vacation time."

I don't really think that John (does he have power yet?) would enjoy that much right now.

Dan Beard only listed once, as illustrator.  Might or might not be the same guy.

(the man who wrote Shacks and Shanties, widely reprinted.  Also a book on making boats.

I'm glad.

Ain't no fun being without utilities--one way or another.
