eight o'clock
Sunday morning
`` I forgive you , Rondeau , and when I need a woods-boss like you , I 'll send for you . '' At eleven o'clock Saturday night the deputy United States marshal arrived in Sequoia . Upon the advice of Buck Ogilvy , however , he made no attempt at service that night , notwithstanding the fact that Jules Rondeau and his bullies still guarded the crossing . At eight o'clock Sunday morning , however , Bryce Cardigan drove him down to the crossing . Buck Ogilvy was already there with his men , superintending the erection of a huge derrick close to the heap of obstructions placed on the crossing . Sexton was watching him uneasily , and flushed as Ogilvy pointed him out to the marshal . `` There 's your meat , Marshal , '' he announced .
