fict with the Indians He represents the noun
tain literally alive with these red devils, who
had selected a position where they had every
advantage over the whites, the only indications
of their presence being a continual flight of
arrows, accompanied by the most terrific yells.
Mr. n. and his party-their mules being un-
packed-fought their way through at once, leav-
ing Bruner and his men to make good their way
over the mountain. When Mr.. N. reached the
Back Bone, he heard firing in the direction of
the Sugar Loaf, and supposed that Burners par
ty was still engaged with the Indians.
The Indians had firearms, but did no execu-
ton with them, not charging their guns with
sufficient quantity of powder. One of MIR.
Melons men, Mexican by the name of Pedro
Calno, had his left eye shot clean out He is
