About two o’clock
`` We will stick to the old road , '' said Oliver briefly . `` Like Roderick I have had enough of all the inhabitants of this country . Now let us rest awhile ; we need it . '' About two o'clock we were up again and before it was dawn on the following morning we had loaded our camels and were on the road . By the first faint light we saw that what Roderick had told us was true . We were crossing the track of an army of many thousand men who had passed there recently with laden camels and horses . Moreover , those men were Fung , for we picked up some articles that could have belonged to no other people , such as a head-dress that had been lost or thrown away , and an arrow that had fallen from a quiver .
