Galusha Bangs was not aware of this, of course. What he was aware of painfully, distressingly aware was the fact that he was alone and supperless, very, very weak and tired, and almost discouraged.

In despair they returned to pass the night in it, and, spreading their frozen sleeping-bags on the snow, they lay down, silent and supperless, to rest till morning.
Had I been in possession of a double-barrelled gun, with small shot, we could have had at least one good meal; but as I had but a heavy rifle and my bow and arrows, we were obliged to go to sleep supperless. About two o'clock the next morning we saddled and resumed our travel, journeying by the stars, still in a north-east direction.

They were a set of cowards anyway, and the captain the biggest fool of them all. I hope he will make good use of my money."
