of water alude to it by word which sounds
like Tahoe" Thus if one Of that tribe
wishes to inform you that he has been to,
or has shot duck in or is going to go to,
Washoe Lake or the Spanish Dam OF the Sink
of Carson, he Jerks his chin in the direction
Of the sheet Of water and says " Tahoe So,
by this showing, Lake "Tahoe" is Lake Lake,

moving objects. Some Of these We're Of
brilliant white, some were variously coored,
some had the shape of winged things, some
took on the forms of fishes. If We only dared
to we would declare we saw one that darted
about, smuously and serpent-like-a sn-ke,
in fact We followed one bright bit to where
it fell upon the ground and it looked like a
particle of dried leaf. But prudence is the
wiser course; and we did not touch it. \
