The hardest work came in the climb up to the outlet and on through to the valley.

When he had accomplished it, he became fired with another idea that again changed his intention.
He would not kill the calf, but keep it alive.

He would go back to Oldring's herd and pack out more calves.

Thereupon he secured the calf in the best available spot for the moment and turned to make a second trip.
When Venters got back to the valley with another calf, it was close upon daybreak.

He crawled into his cave and slept late.
