We rested often and yet long before night he became so tired that we had to go into camp.

Most of the day we had traveled on an old deserted trail.

The nights being cold we were under the necessity of keeping up a fire as we had left our blankets at the fort.

The next morning we made an early start and rested often.

At about noon we found good shade and water, and the sun being quite hot we stopped and rested in the shade for more than three hours, then trudged on till nearly night when we found water, and plenty of old dry timber for fuel and camped.
