A little after ten o'clock they all piled out of the bungalow with their baggage . The two men working at the camp had filled the box of the pung with straw and had drawn it out to the brow of the hill where the road began . The tongue was raised at a slant , as high as it would go , and half of it had been sawed off . Ropes were fastened from this stub of the tongue to ringbolts on either side of the pung-box .
