Such was their summer life, and in their winter caves they had sufficient furniture, ample provender, store of old wine, and assuredly no lack of fuel, with joyous music and pleasant discourse to charm away the season of darkness and storms.
The Doctor's man had brought a bundle of blankets and an axe, from Springer's, and I, like Dalgetty, carried the provender. While Hinds was cooking the supper, I prepared our bed, by breaking a quantity of fine hemlock-brush to thatch the bottom of the camp, to keep us from the damp ground, which it did quite effectually.
Dismissing the ferry-barge with stern injunctions to be in waiting from noon to noon, the three leapt on their fresh nags. 'Stop at the first village, said Guy; 'we must lay in provision. As Master Groschen says, "Nothing's to be done, Turpin, without provender." 'Goshawk! cried Farina; 'you have time; tell me how this business was done.

Our booty was enormous, and consisted of two hundred heavily-laden waggons, and eleven or twelve water-carts and trollies. On some of the waggons we found klinkers, jam, milk, sardines, salmon, cases of corned beef, and other such provisions in great variety. Other waggons were loaded with rum; and still others contained oats and horse provender pressed into bales.
