Dale pulled the tarpaulin up and folded it back just below their heads. "When it rains you'll wake, an' then just pull the tarp up over you," he said. "Will it rain?" Helen asked. But she was thinking that this moment was the strangest that had ever happened to her. By the light of the camp-fire she saw Dale's face, just as usual, still, darkly serene, expressing no thought.
It's goin' to storm," explained Dale. "You'll hear somethin' worth while. But don't be scared. Reckon we'll be safe. Pines blow down often. But this fellow will stand any fall wind that ever was.... Better slip under the blankets so I can pull the tarp up." Helen slid down, just as she was, fully dressed except for boots, which she and Bo had removed; and she laid her head close to Bo's.
Once or twice I was awake in the morning before the cook's loud call of "Come and get it!" brought us from our tents. I never ceased to view with interest this line of tarp beds, each with its sleeping occupant, his hat on the ground beside him, ready, when the call came, to sit up blinking in the sunlight, put on his hat, crawl out, and be ready for the day. The boats had traveled well.
Leaving all our impedimenta to be shipped by rail, that is, Bill, the tent, extra blankets, phonograph everything but a few cooking-utensils, an ax, a tarp, and a pair of blankets the Kid and I got in with the little man and dropped down to the Yellowstone. The new boat was moored under a mud bank. I climbed in, lit a match, and my heart leaped with joy.
