Now I'm goin' to tell yu th' hardest part: yu are goin' to search th' Staked Plain from one end to th' other, an' that's what no white man's ever done to my knowledge.
"Now, listen to this an' don't forget it.

Twenty miles north from Last Stand Rock is a spring; ten miles south of that bend in Hell Arroyo is another.

If yu gets lost within two days from th' time yu enters th' Plain, put yore left hand on a cactus sometime between sun-up an' noon, move around until yu are over its shadow an' then ride straight ahead--that's south.

If you goes loco beyond Last Stand Rock, follow th' shadows made before noon--that's th' quickest way to th' Pecos.

Yu all knows what to do in a sand-storm, so I won't bore you with that.
