eleven o'clock Saturday night
`` I 'd think twice before I let him get out of the country , Bryce . '' `` ` Whose salt he eats , his song he sings , ' '' quoth Bryce . `` 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 .
