+Another useful command is "tail", which will print the last
+10 lines of a file. This is handy when you want to see how
+far something got before it stopped, or what the last thing
+in a file is. To use "tail", all you need to say is
+ tail file
+What is the first word on the next to last line of the file
+called "Ref" in this directory.
+Type "answer WORD", where WORD is the word you found.

+ Now Abraham Lincoln was master of the White House. But he was
+President of only part of the United States. For the Southern
+States has taken down the Star-Spangled Banner and raised the flag
+of the Confederacy in its stead. Sad and silent, Lincoln gazed
+through his spyglass at the Confederate flag that fluttered in the
+wind on the other side of the Potomac River in Virginia. He pondered
+how to get the Southern States back into the Union. He needed
+quiet to think what to do. But from morning till night the White
+House was crowded with people seeking his help.
+ About a hundred and fifty years after the pilgrims settled in
+this country, a young hunter picked up his gun. He tossed it onto
+his shoulder and followed a buffalo trail across the mountains into
+what is now Kentucky.
+ His name was Daniel Boone.
+ He found wild country. There were no settlers, no roads. Indians
+hunted in the woods for food. The country was beautiful and dangerous.
+But here was rich, free land -- miles and miles of it.
+ Many settlers, besides the Pilgrims, had come to the shores of
+America. But they had stayed on the safe land between the sea and
+the mountains.
+ Columbus discovered America in 1492. Later, other explorers
+visited the new land. They told people in Europe of the forests,
+furs, and fish they found. Many Europeans decided to settle in
+this wonderful land. But some of the first settlers starved to
+death during the hard winters. Others lived to build settlements
+or colonies for their mother countries. Colonial America was
+beginning. In 1607, three ships brought men from England to what
+is now Jamestown, Virginia. They were looking for gold.
+ The leader, Captain John Smith, taught the men to build houses
+of stakes and branches. They plastered the walls of the houses with
+mud.
