"What's that?" growled Blunt, sitting up and listening. "Rats," returned Rolfe sleepily. "Th' darned old wagon's alive with 'em." "Them's proper rats, I bet," rejoined Bill, snugging down again. "Reglar bandicoots, sounds like."
Those few solemn hours in which I heard only the wagon's rumble and the sweet calls of the whip-poor-will-waves of music on a sea of silence-started me in a way of thought which has led me high and low these many years and still invites me.

We could have raised a fire that would have burned the English into the sea, and for lack of fuel they let it die down.
