No wonder the hand which supported the barrels was steady as an iron prop. He was shooting for his life and the happiness of five souls! He would save his fire till he literally saw the white of the enemy's eyes: until the outlaw reached the fence, No horse on the mountain-desert could top that highest strand of wire as he very well knew; and in his youth, back in Kentucky, he had ridden hunters.
They had only ridden four or five miles when the decision was reached, and they straightway turned back and raced into Dry Lake again, so that Andy might write the letter that clinched matters.

George Douglas immediately leaped on his horse to ascertain if this were true, but had not ridden more than two miles when he met the Earl of Rothes, who told him the King was not there.

We at once circled the horses around toward the south, and after getting them on the south side of Clear Creek, some twenty of our men just as the darkness was coming on rode back and gave the Indians a few parting shots.
