seven o'clock
The disease is mosquito-borne , and fatal if untreated . The temperature runs are terrific -- highest I ever saw . MERCHANT . Terry rode out of Davao at seven o'clock , bound for Dalag . Within a mile he overtook Lindsey , who had spent the night in town . They rode together several miles to where the trail , soaked with the night 's rain , forked toward Lindsey 's plantation : the sun shone white hot , the earth steamed through its mat of decayed vegetation . They drew rein at the fork , dismounted .
