If I could only fill up good and full once more on hardtack and pork, or some sich luxuries, I'd be as good as new agin.""Seems so to me," answered Alf. "Seems to me there was just millions of 'em, and we only got away with a little passel, in spite of all that shootin'. Why, when we come out on the ridge the valley down there seemed fuller of 'em than it was at first."
