Any short walk would start up antelope, but we had other matters on our mind, and made no special effort to shoot any.
It would have been easy for a trained hunter to get all he wanted, or even for one of us to do it had we dropped other things and given our minds to the work.
The following Monday, July 17th, Prof.and Beaman left for the Agency, and on Friday of the same week Jack returned accompanied by a man named Basor, driving a large four-horse waggon loaded with supplies for us.

We were in need of them.

We had been completely out of soap for two weeks or more, and a box of that essential article was broken open the first thing.

Jack also brought from the Agency garden some lettuce, new potatoes, and turnips.

Not having tasted any vegetables for two months, these were a great treat.
