We only laid out the march for this day as far as the falls and after a little prepared to move.

The cattle seemed to have quit their foolishness, and they were loaded without trouble.

The children fitted into the pockets better than usual, and the mothers with full canteens strapped across their shoulders picked out soft places on which to place their poor blistered feet at every step.

They walked as if they were troubled with corns on every toe and on their heels into the bargain, and each foot was so badly affected, that they did not know on which one to limp.

But still they moved, and we were once more on our way westward.
