Hour after hour the Arab horsemen persisted in their attack, suffering heavily, but determined to conquer if possible.
For the next ten minutes Buck walked up and down silently beside the motionless clump of his two hundred. He had not changed his appearance in any way, except to sling across his yellow overcoat a case with a revolver in it.
