It was entirely covered with a pine forest, and there only appeared to be two or three narrow defiles which gave it a communication with the world. The top of the Kuhstall can be reached by a path which runs up through a split in the rock, directly to the summit.
"There ain't room for four abreast," said Flower, who had been scraping against the wall. "We'd better split up into twos." At the suggestion the ladies drifted apart, and Flower, taking Miss Tyrell's arm, left the mate behind with Miss Wheeler, nervously wondering whether he ought to do the same. "I hope it won't rain," he said, at last.
The oculist had criticized it as far too small for Mexican travel. He carried himself a revolver half the size of a rifle, and filed the ends of the bullets crosswise that they might split and spread on entering a body. In the outskirts of Patzcuaro there came hurrying toward me a flushed and drunken peon youth with an immense rock in his hand.
Well, they soon would know more about the Mary's River and the Humboldt Desert. Plenty of bones, there, sure! But even so, a third of the trains, these past five years, had split off at the Raft River and given up hope of Oregon. California was much better easier to reach and better when you got there.

The captive needed no explanation of the situation. He knew that the soldiers had failed to round up and drive back to the reservation a band of the Utes that had split from the main body and taken to the hills.
She had evidently been killed by a blow from a "parang," as the flesh on the head had been separated by a large cut which had split the skull open. In one of the men's heads there were two small pieces of wood inserted in the nose. They were all ghastly sights to look at, and smelt a bit, and I was not sorry to be able to turn my back on them.
Nature stands related to us at a certain angle, and a little remove either way back toward its grosser side, or up toward its ideal tendency would place it beyond our ken.
