Nobody ever gets enough sleep on a round-up.
The above was the longest number of consecutive hours I ever had to be in the saddle.

But, as I have said, I changed horses five times, and it is a great lightening of labor for a rider to have a fresh horse.

Once when with Sylvane Ferris I spent about sixteen hours on one horse, riding seventy or eighty miles.

The round-up had reached a place called the ox-bow of the Little Missouri, and we had to ride there, do some work around the cattle, and ride back.
Another time I was twenty-four hours on horseback in company with Merrifield without changing horses.

On this occasion we did not travel fast.
