By then it was pretty well on in the night and I remember how the moon rose just as we had it fairly well dried out and dropped astern rose as big as a barrel-head and threw a yellow light over it, and then went out of sight, for a breeze was on us.

"I wish I was as sure of striking a thousand-barrel well as I am that we shall be interviewing the young gentlemen before to-morrow night." But if Bob's hopes of striking a big well had been dependent upon catching the thieves before the next night, he would never have made a success in the oil region, save as a moonlighter.
I tell you what it is, Harnett, before you're able to get around again, we'll have a thousand-barrel well flowing that you can call your own; and, as for engineering, why, you needn't worry your head about that any more, for you'll have all the money you want."
