` I do n't see how . We are behindhand already ; and if we get started within an hour we ca n't reach the ground I selected before dark and we ca n't choose any nearer one , because if Pancho is anywhere in creation he is on the identical spot I sent him to . ' ` But , Dr. Paul , I 'll tell you what we could do , ' suggested Jack . ` If we get any kind of a start , we ca n't fail to reach camp by seven or eight o'clock at latest . Now it 's bright moonlight , and if we find Pancho , he 'll have the baggage unloaded , and Hop Yet will have a fire lighted . What 's to prevent our swinging the hammocks for the ladies ? And we 'll just roll up in our blankets by the fire , for to-night .
