one o'clock in the
morning
Like as not they 've been doin ' some mischief , which we may be able partly to undo . I 'm in favor of ridin ' south , back on the herd track an ' lookin ' for 'em . '' `` So am I , '' said Obed White . `` My watch says it 's one o'clock in the morning , and my watch is always right , because I made it myself . We 've had a pretty good rest , enough to go on , and what we find may be worth finding . A needle in a haystack may be well hid , but you 'll find it if you look long enough . '' They rode almost due south in the great path made by the buffalo herd , not stopping for a full two hours when a halt was made at a signal from the Panther .
