About two o'clock
`` Right you are , captain . I was once cornered by a buffalo , and had all I could do to save myself . '' The old scout calculated that they would strike some game that afternoon , and he was not mistaken . About two o'clock they sighted several deer far up the hillside . `` Fine , plump animals , '' said Benson . `` If we get a couple of them we can be well satisfied . '' It was decided that they should move around in a semicircle , so as to get to leeward of the herd .
