six o'clock in the evening
Three days later the boys and I took leave of Mr. Hudson , who was now in charge of the government storehouse , and , accompanied by Mr. Gray , started for Fort Whipple . Hanging under the hind axle of the ambulance was a ten-gallon keg , and inside was another . We left La Paz early in the morning and arrived at Tyson 's Wells at nine o'clock . Remaining there until six o'clock in the evening , we watered our animals , and with freshly filled kegs started for Hole-in-the-Plain , where we stayed until the following evening , the animals passing the day on grass without water . A second night-drive brought us to Cisternas Negras , and the third to Date Creek , from which last point we resumed travelling by daylight . At Skull Valley , at the earnest request of Miss Brenda Arnold , Henry was allowed to remain for a few days ' visit . He promised to join the next incoming mail-rider , and to ride back to the fort by way of the mountain-trail .
