Original student excerpt
We caught up with the leaders the next day. The last clue had said, “Go to the nearest bridge across Netcong Creek.” Tent Eight picked the wrong bridge, and by the time they found the right one we were even with them. From then on the race was neck and neck. It wasn’t until the last clue that we got ahead of them and won the treasure.
Five consecutive sentences from the typeset composition; original spelling and punctuation preserved.
