Much hard use and occasional oilings had darkened the leather to a rich, red brown, marred with old scars and scratches and the stains of many storms. "Blood is hard to find when it's raining all night," Swan observed, speaking low as one does in the presence of death.
"They may have ridden them on here," Easton suggested; "after they got separated from the column the camels may have smelt the water and come on here before daylight broke." "That is true, Easton. You see one of these saddles has blood stains on it; perhaps its rider was wounded. We will search the grove thoroughly."
Neatly and carefully he put everything back into the sack, each article in its turn. He took pains to build up the rolls of tobacco round the bacon, to protect the cloth from grease stains. "You might buy this cloth from me," he said. "I'll let you have it cheap. It's duffle. It only gets in my way." "How much do you want for it?" I asked.
