Taking a northward course up his banks, we reached the second of the Pylae Ciliciae before sunset. It is on a grander scale than the first gate, though not so startling and violent in its features.
"Not I," said Archer, "not I, indeed, till I have beat this field I expect to put up another bevy among those little crags there in the corner, where the red cedars grow and if we do, they will strike down the fence of the buckwheat stubble that stubble we must make good, and the rye beside it, and drive, if possible, all that we find before us to the corn field.
We'll look the ground over and size up the valley for horses. Find where they water and graze. If we decide to use this place as a trap to drive into we'll throw up two blind corrals just inside that gateway out there.
