They were two hundred fighting men, and although the Sioux had now three times that many,
They had learned too much of the shooting powers of these seasoned troopers, and deemed it wise to avoid close contact.
The Indian fights well man for man when fairly cornered.
But at other times he is no true sportsman.
He asks for odds of ten to one as when he wiped out Custer on the greasy grass, or Fetterman at Fort Phil Kearney, as when he tackled the Grey Fox, General Crook, on the rosebud and siblings, little party among the pines of the bighorn.
Ray's plucky followers had shot viciously, and emptied far too many saddles for Indian equanimity.
It might be well in any event to let Webb's squadron through and wait for further accessions from the agencies at the southeast or the big turbulent bands of Unkapapas and Minikonjos at Standing Rock or the Cheyenne's along the Yellowstone.
So back went lame Wolf and his braves, bearing sabre with them, flitting northward again for the glorious country beyond the Chicade, and on went Webb with Blake, Greg, Ray,
and their juniors with Tracy to take care of such as might be wounded on the way, and later still the old post surgeon reached the Elk with guards and hospital attendants, and on the morrow row, began his homeward march with the dead and wounded, a sad and solemn little procession.
Only twenty miles had he to go.
But it took long hours, so few were the ambulances, so rough the crossings over the ravines, and not until near nightfall was the last of the wounded, Lieutenant Field.
Born in the arms of pitying soldiers into the old post hospital, too far gone with fever, exhaustion, and some strong mental excitement to know or care that his strange plea had been, per France, disregarded.
To know or care later that the general himself, the commander they loved and trusted, was bending over him at dawn the following day.
ordering forward all available troops from the line of the railway.
The chief.
had stopped at Laramie only long enough for brief conference with the post commander.
Then, bidding him come on with his cavalry, he pushed ahead for France.
It couldn't be a long campaign, perhaps, with winter close at hand, but it would be a lively one.
Of all that the chief felt well assured.
Now there was something uncanny about this outbreak on the part of the Sioux.
