Well, whar's Rasco and the gal?
gpt
Both gone--I don't know where, Cal. Where are the other boys?
human
Started back toward Honnewell; thet is, all but Dick Arbuckle. He's over ter yonder spring gittin' a drink o' water.
gpt
I am sorry I failed to find the girl, said Pawnee Brown.
human
She must have wandered off in the woods and got lost. I am quite certain the Indians did not spot her again.
gpt
And Jack?
human
Went off after his horse.
gpt
Wot do yer advise us ter do--stay here?
human
I am afraid staying here will do no good, Cal. I must get back to camp and start the wagons up. I know they won't move a step unless I am personally there to give directions. The old boomers are all afraid of being fooled by some trick of the soldiers.
gpt
Thet's so. Wall, if yer want me ter stay here I'll stay--otherwise I'll go back,
