I'm the kind of a sportsman who goes into the woods as light as possible give me a frying pan, coffee pot, tin cup and a pie platter, some pepper and salt, some matches, a camp hatchet to cut browse for my bed, and my trusty rifle with which to supply the game, and I warrant you I can get along as well as the fellow who makes a pack-horse of himself, and totes all sorts of canned goods over the carries."
"It's plumb insulting to a self-respecting cow-pony to make a pack-horse out uh him. I wouldn't be none surprised if yuh heard his views on the subjects before yuh git there." "It's an honor to pack heirlooms," retorted Weary. "So-long, boys."
Being appointed to lead the pack-horse, Henri seized its halter. Then the three cavaliers shook their reins, and, waving their hands to their comrades, they sprang into the woods at full gallop, and laid their course for the "far west." For some time they galloped side by side in silence, each occupied with his own thoughts, Crusoe keeping close beside his master's horse.
I asked them if they were expected at Nelson. They said, 'No. If such their lives would have been spared. In money we took L60 odd. I said, 'Is this all you have? You had better tell me. Sullivan said, 'Here is a bag of gold. I said, 'What's on that pack-horse?
Many of the old roads still exist in Yorkshire and Lancashire; but all that remains of the former traffic is the pack-horse still painted on village sign-boards things as retentive of odd bygone facts as the picture-writing of the ancient Mexicans.* While the road communications of the country remained thus imperfect, the people of one part of England knew next to nothing of the other.
Carmichael and I loaded a pack-horse with water and started back into the scrub to where we left the little mare the day before yesterday. With protractor and paper I found the spot we left her at bore from this place south 70 degrees west, and that she was now no more than thirteen or fourteen miles away, though we had travelled double the distance since we left her.
He tried coaxing; he tried the whip. "Come, Old-Timer. One plunge, and you'll make it yet," he urged. The pack-horse turned upon him dumb eyes of reproach, struggled to free its limbs from the mud, and sank down helplessly. It had traveled its last yard on the long Alaska trails. After the sound of the shot had died away, Gordon struggled with the pack to the nearest hummock.
Without an instant's hesitation he headed his horse for a huge mass of rock fragments that lay at the base of an almost perpendicular wall. The others followed in single file. Bat bringing up the rear driving the pack-horse before him. Alice kept her horse close behind the Texan's which wormed and twisted in and out among the rock fragments that skirted the wall.
The pack-horse followed with an alacrity that showed he had no desire for loneliness. As straight as a bee-line Wildfire had left a trail down into the floor of the valley. He had not stopped to graze, and he had not looked for water. Slone had hoped to find a water-hole in one of the deep washes in the red earth, but if there had been any water there Wildfire would have scented it.
"I was sitting irresolute, when he went out of the cavern to call his horses; then my eyes fell on the things which the old black slave was tying together to load on a pack-horse among them was a roll of writing. I fancied it was my own, and took it up to look at it, when what should I find?
