"We'll divvy Henry and I," he said. "I told you that last night." He looked over at Roscoe. "Glad you're better," he greeted. "You see you've struck us at a bad time. We're on our last legs for grub. Our two Indians went out to hunt a week ago and never came back. They're dead or gone, and we're as good as dead if the storm doesn't let up pretty soon.
