The cynicism of the younger man drew a responsive smile in reply. But it also drew a very definite and decided shake of the head. Whatever the general opinion, one man knew, one man had witnessed the momentary baring of a man's soul torn with agony, in the candle-lit tent on the banks of the Theton River.
The man was paid under promise of guiding an outfit back to the Theton River country, and then began a hustle of a cyclonic nature. Corporal Munday set out for Reindeer forthwith, and made headquarters in record time. Within half an hour of his arrival Superintendent McDowell had issued his orders for a "rush outfit." And three hours later saw it on the trail. There was no hesitation.
"I don't care a curse if you kill every darn horse between here and the Landing," he said. "Commandeer all you need and plenty. I don't care what you do. You've got to bring Allenwood back alive, or or break your darn neck." And Belton had needed no urging. He had cut down the month's journey to the Theton River to something like twenty days.
But under its unemotional words urgency, deep, terrible urgency, was revealed. Accident and sickness had hit the writer hard. His position was desperate. And the final paragraph epitomized his extremity in no uncertain fashion. I mean to do all a man can to make the headwaters of the Theton River. Maybe I'll succeed. I can't say. If I don't you'll understand.
They were riding back to camp after a long day of search along the banks of the Theton River. Their search was systematic. Each day they rode out and followed the intricate course of the smiling river with its endless chain of lakes. Each day their camp broke up and followed a similar course, but taking the direct and shortest route down the river.
In this neighbourhood, where the wilderness of sparsely travelled country opened out, he would make for the headwaters of the beautiful Theton River. The river of a hundred lakes draining a wide tract of wooded country.
