40/57 You are looking for a good camp. How does that valley suit you ?" "That will do," he said. "I can easily descend with the cavalry, but how to get the wagons down is a puzzler." "By the time your camp is located the wagons will be there," I said. "I'll leave it to you, inasmuch as you seem to want to be the boss." He ordered the command to dismount and lead the horses down the mountain. When the wagon-train, which was a mile in the rear, came up, one of the drivers asked: "How are we going to get down there ?" "Run down, slide down, fall down--any way to get down," I told him. |
