'Well I be danged! Bettles turned up the collar of his mackinaw jacket and stared about him helplessly. 'It's a gloryus game yer runnin', Kid, cried Lon McFane.
"Yes, send him along over. It's mighty important, but I ain't goin' aboard no Jonah boat. Tell him he'll be glad he came." Presently Stetson came and the two retired into the cabin of the Nettie B. It was dawn of a heavy, dark day. There was a mighty sea rolling and a forty-mile wind off the Cape shore that promised a three-day ruction.
"Good idea," acquiesced Bill, and the shift in mounts was made, after which the boys headed for the ranch house. As they were starting on the long forty-mile ride, Mr. Wilder and Nails were ending it.

For, at the age of thirteen, accompanying his father, he had formed one of the small band of gold seekers who fought their way to the "placers" of Forty-mile Creek years before the great Yukon rush. He was one of those who helped to open the gates of the country. His child's muscles and courage had done their duty beside those of far older men.
We got our car, and after a glance at the map, I told my companion where I proposed to go: a run along the coast to Worthing, there to strike inland for Horsham, from Horsham to make for the Brighton road about Crawley, roughly about a forty-mile run in all, and I reckoned that if we kept to the legal speed limit we should just about meet the mail.

The rule was that any lands settled upon, prior to the date of the grant, should be guaranteed to the settler, and the railroad be indemnified with as much land as was thus taken up on an additional grant of ten miles each side, called lieu lands, just outside the forty-mile limits of the main grant.
