At noon he gave the order to outspan.

Well, we'll outspan and have our tiffin under the palms."

By noon that day they had found space to outspan the wagon on the periphery of the huge circular encampment.

I showed your driver where to outspan.

So we trekked with the moon, Gaasha guiding us, and did not outspan till dawn.

Sean left MbeJane to outspan the wagons on the open square in front of the church and he went to search for a doctor.

"We will outspan here for a few days, Papa," Ralph said; it was still strange for Zouga to have his son make decisions without deferring to him.

Unlike horses, bulls have no certain gait between ambling and a panic rush, so the younger man easily had time to outspan his plow oxen and trot down the hill.

Zouga had hoped to find an open space upon which to outspan his wagon and erect the big bell tent, but there was no open space within a quarter of a mile of the kopje.

The night passed somehow without anything happening, and at dawn we halted for a while to water the oxen, which we did with buckets, and let them eat what grass they could reach from their yokes, since we did not dare to outspan them.

That day, owing to the roughness of the road--if road it could be called--and an accident to one of the wagons, we only covered about fifteen miles, and as night fell were obliged to outspan at the first spot where we could find water.
