ellis of the camp in the crisis of that hour.
Then the boy, Midshipman Beale, an
sWered that no other could aid him, and
Carson himself pleaded to be allowed to
accompany the brave fellow kcarny
yielded, and they set out at dark, with diff
ficulty passing Gen. Pico's double rows of
piclzets on the hillside and a patrol of
mounted lancers on the plain. These pre-
cautions Of the enemy had been taken es-
pecially to prevent just such movement
as this communication with Stockton.
| The California generals orders on posting
his guards had been, "Be alert, Carson is
there" pointing to the American camp on
the hill. He had learned from the first
messengers from the camp whom he had
captured, that the redoubtable scout and
guide was with Kearny.
In order to move with secrecy Carson
and Beale removed their shoes, and in pass
ing Pico's wary sentinels they crawled but
an inch at time. The task WAS so diff
cult that at once Beale urged Carson
to give it up. LET us jump out on them
and fight, for it is all over with u.s." he
said. Carson answered, "No; have been in
worse places and Providence served me-"
At last they passed the standing pickets,
and then craWled over the two miles of
plain, which was guarded by mounted
patrol. This they passed, and then day
came on. During the day they hid in a
mountain gorge, and on the following night
struck Pico's pickets around Stockton's
camp: They now separated and eluded
the new danger successfully. Beale, how
ever, was so exhausted that Stockton's
men had to carry him from the outposts
to the camp. Stockton at once sent
out strong party to meet Kearny, and
the delicate mission, thanks to Carson's
GOODNESS and pluck, was accomplished.
In the civil war Carson commanded the
First New Mexico volunteers, and the same
characteristics distinguished him in the
army that he displayed in the exploring
and hunting camps. At the battle of Val
verde, in New Mexico, he crossed the Rio
Grande with his regiment, and attacking
boldly was gaining the day when sudden
orders came to retreat across the river. In
his report Carson offered no protest, but
simply said that his regiment was sweeping
everything before it when it was called off.
In person Carson was a simple minded,
modest man. He made nothing of him
self; his career is written indelibly where
he lived and wrought A tribute to his
memory published in The Salt Lake Trib-
une closes with these words, which fifty
indicate his niche in history:
He followed the water courses to their
sources, and guided by them learned where
the mountains bent their crests to make
possible highways for the feet of men. He
climbed the mountains and disputed with
the eagles of the crags' for points of OBJ
servation; he met the wild beast and sub
dued him; he met the savage of the plains
and of the hills, and in his own person
gave notice Of his sovereignty in skill, in
cunning and in courage. To the red man
he was the voice Of fate.n
