Red Dog

It was remarkable that the argument partook of none of those fierce personalities with which discussions were usually conducted at Roaring Camp.

Tipton proposed that they should send the child to Red Dog, a distance of forty miles, where female attention could be procured.

But the unlucky suggestion met with fierce and unanimous opposition.

It was evident that no plan which entailed parting from their new acquisition would for a moment be entertained.

"Besides," said Tom Ryder, "them fellows at Red Dog would swap it and ring in somebody else on us." A disbelief in the honesty of other camps prevailed at Roaring Camp, as in other places.

The introduction of a female nurse in the camp also met with objection.

It was argued that no decent woman could be prevailed upon to accept Roaring Camp as her home, and the speaker urged that they didn't want any more of the other kind.

This and a reputation for singular proficiency with the revolver kept the reserve of Roaring Camp inviolate.
