In this volume the child is helped to realise that it is necessary not only to know how to use fire, but to know how to make it. Protection from the cold winters, which characterise the age described, is sought first in caves; but fire is a necessary means of defending the caves. The serious condition to which cave-men are reduced by the loss of fire during the time of a flood is shown to be the motive which prompts them to hold a council; to send men to the fire country; to make improvements in clothing, devices for carrying, and in tools and weapons; and, finally, to the discovery of a way of making fire.
