Anxious to get the news of the death of sheriff McLane back to Captain Hardy, the sergeant has his column in the saddle longer than most patrols do in a day. His patrol arrives at the fort just after sunset on the second day of their return trip.
As they enter the parade grounds the sergeant says, “Take care of your mounts, I will notify the captain we returned, I will also make sure that there is a dinner meal ready for all of us.”
The duty sergeant comes up to Dinsmore, “How did your patrol go?”
“I’ll tell you later, just get word to the captain that we have returned. Tell him we found something he needs to be aware of. Ask him if he wants to meet with me this evening or first thing in the morning.”
