马匹已经上好套具准备好开始早上的行程了
Breakfast was from 6:00 to 7:00,

6点到7点为早餐时间
and at 7:00 precisely the signal was given to advance.

so that the wagons in the vanguard one day would be in the extreme rear the next

首尾相互轮换
and work their way up the column day by day.

每天位置递进

Captain Hoxie wanted things organized,

霍西队长要求一切事务井井有条
''for the welfare of all the overlanders'' he'd say.
