As soon as they had finished eating, the hunters spread their buffalo-robes upon the grass; and, drawing their blankets over them, went off into a sound sleep.
This night they were not disturbed.

When awake they could hear the howling of wolves upon the distant prairie, and near their camp.

But they were used to this serenading music, and did not regard it.

All three slept soundly throughout the live-long night.
They were awake by grey dawn, and felt quite refreshed.

They watered their horses, and prepared their breakfast of jerked bear-meat.
