"George Hewitt, who is lookout at Fairview, through which go all telephone calls from Layng Creek section of the forest, learned in some way that the fire guard at Musick had ordered two watermelons. It is two miles or more from Fairview down to the Musick cabin, a large part of the trip almost straight up or down, but Hewitt arrived simultaneously with the melons and didn't leave until one of them had been disposed of. How he carried that load back to his mountain perch was a mystery."
