"We mustn't leave her alone for a single minute, after this; and it's got to be one of us, at that. We couldn't afford to hire a watchman if we had a million dollars." Under the ride-and-tie proposal I volunteered to stand watch for the remainder of the night; and after the other two had turned in I took Gifford's place, with the windlass for a back rest and Barrett's shot-gun for a weapon.
So time passed on until nine o'clock, when the two detectives agreed to adopt the "ride-and-tie" principle one keeping strict watch until midnight and the other until morning. This arrangement was duly carried out; and L , who had taken the turn till midnight, again resumed his place at six o'clock.
The distance travelled by the despatch is about six thousand miles. February 15th. This day we had an excursion to the Petrified Forest. It was got up partly to give us all a taste of camel-riding, and it was originally expected that everybody would go on camels; then it was agreed that half should go on camels, and "ride-and-tie."
