We soon discovered two or three hundred pounds of dried meat--buffalo, deer, and antelope, also a little coffee and sugar and an old kettle and tin cups which the Indians had used.
All the men by this time had all the water they wanted.

Each was chewing a piece of dried meat.

Pickets were posted to prevent a surprise.

Soon coffee was ready.

In a short time everybody was filled up, and I told Thomas we had better be getting out of there.
Many of the men began saddling the stolen horses, so as to rest their own.
