one o'clock
Here 's to Mr. Gray , whose conduct at Soldiers ' Holes , at Date Creek , and on the Walkerhelyer has won our admiration . May he niver lack for the liquid he has so ginerously dispinsed , nor a soft hand to smooth his last pillow , and plinty of masses for the repose of his sowl ! '' Frank and Henry sprang towards the circle of soldiers , raised their cups as Clary finished his sentiment , and joined in the hearty response when he closed . At one o'clock the animals were caught up , given the remainder of the water and their portion of the corn , and got ready for the road . Once up the slope Marr cracked his whip , the mules started into a trot , the horses of the escort broke into a canter , and amid the cheerful clatter of hoofs and the rattle of wheels we sped on our way as fresh as if we were just leaving Fort Whipple . A ride of twenty miles brought us to Tyson 's Wells . These were two in number , sunk at an intersection of several roads leading to settlements and mines , an accommodation to trains , flocks , and herds , and a profit to the owner .
