- But they know he's gone and taken the mules.

- Yeah.

- Well, I told them I'd guessed he must have wandered from the camp and stampeded them accidentally.

- Not to Poker Flat we won't.

- No, we'll all go back to Sandy Bar.

- Then we'll have Tom and Piney hide out in the woods while the rest of us go on into town, and get them some more mules and provisions. Then we'll see them on their way again.
