 They were following Rawhide Creek, moving north. How many men, Mr. Savage? Two men. Four horses, four mules. I couldn't tell enough through the glasses to describe what they looked like. I know what one of them looked like. We can't be sure of that, Captain. Mr. Savage, you say you fired a signal at them. Can you be sure they heard it? They heard it, sir. I never took the glasses off them. And when we fired, they stopped and looked at us. The whole patrol made signs for them to come back.
