But some time, of course, I must go." For a long time the buffalo had not been seen. Every one was hungry, for the hunters could find no food for the people. "Most fortunate," says Rodney, with deep gravity. "I consider I have been the means of preventing a public calamity. Why, that bird might have haunted us later on.".
