One day, however, he got into a dialogue with Hiram Ford, a wagoner, in which he himself contributed information.

然而，有一天，他与一位车夫海特进行对话，他本人也在对话中提供信息。

Sand storms often wiped out all signs of the route; hunger and thirst did many a band of wagoners to death; but the lure of the game and the profits at the end kept the business thriving.

沙尘暴经常摧毁路线的所有志；饥渴使许多车夫丧命。但游戏的诱惑和最终的利润让生意蒸蒸日上。
