When it was all boiled down it came to this, that we could make more money in one night by sticking up a coach or a bank than in any other way in a year.

That when we had done it, we were no worse off than we were now, as far as being outlaws, and there was a chance--not a very grand one, but still a chance--that we might find a way to clear out of New South Wales altogether.
So we settled it at that.

We had plenty of good horses--what with the young ones coming on, that Warrigal could break, and what we had already.

There was no fear of running short of horse-flesh.

Firearms we had enough for a dozen men.
