A messenger soon summoned Shipley, and he was with me before midnight; he explained all his movements satisfactorily, and I could not but acknowledge he had acted throughout discreetly and well. We sat far into the morning, discussing future plans.
One more long night-ride over steep, broken forest-ground enlivened by certain ultra-marine reminiscences of my guide, who had been a sort of land-buccaneer in California brought us to the farm, far in the bosom of the hills, where I found Shipley, buried in a deep sleep.
