faithful to his deity, on both days entrcated

stance the FIRE commenced on the wind
ward side, and with fearful rapidity
was around and among our wagons.
The only wonder at the time was how
any thing could have been saved from
the furious element that roared and
cracked around.
We packed up and arranged our
cattle, and late in the forenoon made a
start. Our course was nearly west and
along the level prairie that overlooked
the large valley to our right. The
mountains we had seen the day previ-
Gus gradually opened to the view, and

had given of The Cyows. But few,
however, felt disposed TO doubt the
mans words. We are slow in giving
credencc TO any story, however plausi-
bic, that runs counter 10 our desires or
wishes.
Our road was a good one this day
and we journeyed on with unusual ra
pidity. The men suffered incredibly
from thirst and were constantly seen
eating the pods from the musqueettrees,
drawing the little moisture they pos
sessed to relieve their parched tongues
and mouths. A bullet has much vir-
tue in relieving thirst, and I piece Of
raw-hide was also used TO impart mois-
ture.
At night we encampel in beautiful
valley covered with fine grass and affor-
cling excellent pnsmrage. Ofwaior there
was but little, and that almost too brack
ish even to swallow. An Italian named
Brignoli, who formerly lived at Natchez
and who spoke Spanish, went GU, in the
evening to search tor water and a route

mention their misg,vingS, aloud. No
