No one could imagine where the fellows went so suddenly.
We drove to the west side of this basin and camped near the foot of a low mountain.

The cattle were driven down into the basin where there was some grass, but at camp we had only the water in our kegs.
Some of the boys climbed the mountain on the north but found no springs: Coming down a canon they found some rain water in a basin in the rocks and all took a good drink.

Lew West lay down and swallowed all he could and then told the boys to kill him for he never would feel so good again.

They finished the pool, it was so small, before they left it.

In going on down the canon they saw an Indian dodge behind some big rocks, and searching, they found him in a cave as still as a dead man.
