ponies were easily followed. AS they

the breaks of the ridge, although his
keen eyes, searching the upper val

Tired as Dupont's horse undoubtedly
was, he might not yet have attained
the Indian encampment, which, in
truth, might be much farther away
than Hughes had supposed. The fact
that no spirals of smoke were visible
