In Roy Blakeley's Tangled Trail by Percy Keese Fitzhugh, when Roy and the Boy Scouts can only turn left on their hike, they soon find themselves stuck in a perilous situation. Excerpt: "Hello, everybody, this is the first story I wrote in a long time, only I haven't written it yet. I mean when it's all written it will be the first one I wrote in a long time. That's because my fountain pen got broken on account of stirring coffee with it in camp. Pee-wee Harris said that needn't make any difference because a scout is supposed to be able to write with a charred stick whittled to a point. He says that's the way pioneers wrote. He thinks the word pioneer comes from the word pie. He says that's the way he writes. No wonder his stories are such black mysteries, that's what my sister says. He says scouts are supposed to write on birch bark."

If the Boy Scouts of America wanted to resign from me right now this minute I wouldn't stop them. I started a hike so nice and innocent like—you know the way I do—and it turned out to be a couple of dozen parades; gee they must think I'm the Ringling Brothers circus or something. Westy Martin says he should worry because I'm the one that started my patrol. Sure, and I'm going to be the one to finish it too. If it went the way I started it, it would hike to the North Pole and stay there."
