Having removed boots and outer clothing, and spread their blankets in one of the pair of double-decked bunks, the two men lost no time crawling between them, and fell almost instantly asleep. "Yuh out last night?" brusquely inquired Gabby, as they were dressing next morning.
Bob Tidball opened the sack, drew out double handfuls of the neat packages of currency and the one sack of gold and chuckled with the glee of a child. "Say, you old double-decked pirate," he called joyfully to Dodson, "you said we could do it you got a head for financing that knocks the horns off of anything in Arizona." "What are we going to do about a hoss for you, Bob?

The first sight of interest was the railway station, which was filled with what appeared to the Subaltern to be double-decked trains. Evidently a French army had detrained here. The Column swung suddenly round a corner and they were almost staggered with the sight of the cathedral towering above them.
It was also early in August that the last of the fourteen double-decked iron barges, designed for the conveyance of troops, was finished at Dakhala. Except the surplus and reserve stores everything was put to instant service.
