IL was pleasant event il my life
when | was thrown into the company
of Grignon. was on my way To
California, and had taken the overland
route in preference TO any other 1t
"as on my journey across the plains
that 1 made his acquaintance. Our
party overlook a single wagon. IL
contained n solitary man. The horses
were dead, and the man nearly so.
This man was Grignon. | paid the
utmost attention TO his wants. Being
a medical man. ! gave him all the
benefit of my skill and care. AS he
recovered, he naturally entertained a
strong friendship for me. His wagon
had fallen behind the train 10 which he
belonged. and they had been compelled
by their own necessities TO desert
him.
The coDjurer, however, was destined
for far more glorious tate shan to die
miserably i'll the desolate American
desert. He was to become an astonisher
to the natives (Indians), savior to
civilized lives, and lion in California.
We resumed our journey. We had
started, however, like many others in
those days, with insufficient prepara-
tlons. AS soon as We found out our
mistake, we had to be very economical
IN our provisions. We killed butfaloes
whenever we found them, and always
replenished our water casks at every
stream. AT length, however, we came
TO a dry and parched waste. where
there was scarcely drop of water,
scarcely blade of grass, and not a
single living animal of any description.
And now began the troubles of our
journey. We had come into the coun-
Try of the war-like Indians, and they
were not slow to acquaint us with the
fact. Every day they prowled around
us in great numbers, threatening and
insulting us. Occasionally they used
TO snatch up something. and dart away
on their fleet horses. We did all we
could TO be friendly, and determined
to avoid an open rupture as far as
possible, for there were only twelve on
our side. and on their side apparently
twelve hundred.
Every day. however, only made mat
tiers worse. In spite of our precautions,
the Indians grew more and more
abusive and insulting. We became
watchfnl, and tried to be more for
bearing, but our forbearance was taken
for cowardice, and the savages began
to think that they could do anything
with US.
