The cleft in which the cliff dwellings,

TO my instant despair, perceived
that the walls of white rock that

the canyon were not the walls of a
pueblo. but merely natural formations
of shale that, from n distance. would
deceive the most acute observation.
There were, to be sure, groups of piled

and hopelessly trapped.
To the south of my cleft was Il
small, narrow ledge about feet wide
and separated from me by a crevasse
that extended almost to the bed of
the canyon--about 700 feet. Here
grew some wild grape vines and some
gray, apparently lifeless bushes.
Water. flowing down the crevasse
from the mesa above had given these
plants sustenance.
The one and only chance of escape
that l could visualize lay in the posi-
bility that some Navajos might chance

was no means Of getting any unless it
