"Then just as you say, Ned, we'll try it," Jack agreed. "I'll see if I can stand this rank smell a little while longer. Perhaps it may seem so bad that none of the rustlers'll care to crawl in and look around. You can kind of give them to understand that one of your crowd has keeled over earlier in the fight. There's just a little hope it may pan out. Now, for goodness' sake get a move on as soon as you can. I'll find a place behind some loose stones to lie down and play dead. Hope when the time comes for me to crawl out I won't be too weak to move."
