"I'll tell you what, Ben," said Bradley, "we'll pay Ki Sing
something besides, and he shall be our cook and steward, and see
that we have three square meals a day."
"I agree to that," said Ben.
When Ki Sing was made to comprehend the proposal, he, too, agreed,
and the little household was organized. The next day Ben and Bradley
went to work at Dewey's claim, which they found unexpectedly rich,
while the Chinaman undertook the duties assigned him. Four weeks
elapsed before Richard Dewey was in a condition to leave the cabin
for San Francisco. Then he and Ben returned, Ki Sing accompanying
them as a servant, while Bradley remained behind to guard Dewey's
claim and work it during Ben's absence.
