Chapter XVIII
THE CAPTURE OF MARK. The afternoon of that momentous day passed without incident. Mark noticed Bull Harris glowering at him as he passed his tent, but beyond that the “subduing” programme got no further. The Banded Seven kept near to camp, so as to prevent it. That is, all of them but one; Sleepy was that one.
