Four o'clock
It was still cold , and the raw northeast wind moaned through the pines in a way that made us think of winter . We went to bed early that night , so as to get a good start for Deadwood the next day . We brought the horses down from the ranch in the evening , blanketed them , and stood them out of the wind among some trees . `` Four o'clock must see us rolling out of our comfortable beds and getting ready to start , '' said Jack , as we turned in . `` We must play we are freighters . '' Jack planned better than he knew ; we really `` rolled out '' in an exceedingly lively manner at three o'clock . We were sleeping soundly at that hour , when we were awakened by the motion of the wagon .
