The women were so tired they were over two hours late, and we had the fire built, the soup cooked and the beds made.

As we did not stop at noon all were very hungry, and ate with a relish.

The poor animals had to go without either grass or water.

When Old Crump and the party came in the men were carrying the babies, and their wives were clinging to their arms, scarcely able to stand.

When they reached the beds they fell at full length on them, saying their feet and limbs ached like the tooth ache.
