Jerry, left alone in the mist and darkness, dismounted meanwhile, not only to ease his spent horse, but to wipe the mud from his face, and shake the wet out of his hat-brim, which might be capable of holding about half a gallon. This kind of masonry was continued for some time, repeated supplies of wood and mud being brought, and treated in the same manner. |
