stopped occasionally to skin what we had 

 killed. We were compelled to remain up all 

 night on account of our horses, and besides 

 we could not have slept for the noise. The

 that sleep was out of the question, even though 

 circumstances were otherwise favorable. I 

 have seen a great many herds of buffalo but 

 never before, or since, have seen one equal to 

 this.
