Each of the horses has got two sacks of gold, one of them has got the water-skin, two others have got twenty pounds of flour each, which will be enough to last us with the loaf we are baking here till we get out of the Indian country; the others have got the tea and sugar.

The one with the skin will be the heaviest load at first; but the water will soon go, so that makes it even.

Everything else we have got to leave behind, except a kettle and this baking pan.

We will take them up as we go.

Now that the loaf is fairly under way, we will get ready for the redskins.".
