Excerpt: ...back and fetch her. Where was he now? The answer came unexpectedly. "'What's that smoke there?' asked Coonie. "Lenox and I turned to look in the direction in which he pointed. A grey haze was mounting from the horizon. "'It's more like dust than smoke, ' said Lenox. 'I wouldn't mind betting it's sheep.' "Who could have the impudence to be driving 149 sheep on to the Buller's Creek range?

"Lenox knew enough about prairie blizzards to prevent him from trying to find our way home through this one. On the open plains, where the wind has full sweep, a blizzard is a thing to be dreaded. Though we had to face the storm to ride 150 back to the glen, it was the safest thing to do, for we were not far away, and we should find shelter there.
