1) In PP I had always assumed that the fire - and the previous one spotted by Dick and put out by John and Nancy - had been started by motorists boiling a tea kettle. But evidently that was my childish innocence - the book doesn't say so, and cigarettes do seem the more likely explanation. The farmer's wife who Titty and Roger talk to in the train at the beginning certainly blames cigarettes for fire risk.

2)On the penultimate page Captain Flint and Timothy are "lying by the camp-fire, smoking their pipes"
