See here, Charley Moi, could you show me just where you saw this Moqui last?" The yellow-skinned guide smirked, and nodded his head until his pigtail bobbed up and down like a bell rope. "Easy do," he observed, beginning to get upon his feet. "Come along Bob," remarked Frank. "We'd all better be present. Three heads are better than one when it comes to a question of deciding what's to be done."
In one of them, for instance, the pottery for all the Pueblos is manufactured; in others, like the Moqui villages, all the people are employed in the making of finely woven goats' hair blankets, in which occupation many are great experts.
The other gods looked with disapproval on this performance, however, and they agreed to give the wind god power to defeat him, for, now that he had secured his house, he had gone to gambling again. The wind god, in disguise as a Moqui, issued a challenge, and the animals agreed to help him.
During the comparatively short time which Espejo had to explore the country as far as the Hopi or Moqui, he collected interesting ethnological data.
Stanley heard him addressed as Coronado; she looked to see him scattered in rags on the floor; she tried to muster courage to rush to his rescue. There was no outcry of rage at the sound of the fatal name, and she could not perceive that a Moqui countenance smiled the less for it. Coronado produced a pipe, filled it, lighted it, and handed it to the chief.
Swinging their rifles into one hand they managed to take hold of the grunting Moqui, and in this primitive fashion began hauling him along. Buckskin continued to prance and snort as though demanding whether he had not amply fulfilled his duty as guardian to the camp; but no one paid the least attention to him just then. Arriving at the tent the boys proceeded to rekindle the fire.
"Where is Delgadito?" "Delgadito went the other side of the mountain. They were both going to fight the Moquis." "So we shall find Delgadito in the Moqui valley?" "I think so, Señor." After a moment of reflection Coronado added, "You will stay with us and take care of mules. I will do well by you." "Thanks, Señor. Many thanks." Coronado rejoined Thurstane and told his news.
In the Zuñi dances, and in the Moqui snake-dance, a turtle rattle is tied to the inside of the left leg. The rattle, carried in the hand by the Moqui snake dancer, is a gourd, but the Passamaquoddies seem to find the horn better adapted for their purpose. The almost universal use of the rattle among the Indians in their sacred dances is very significant.
Next, along comes this Moqui, Havasupai he says his name is, and he gets in a bad fix by trying to run off our horses; and feeling sorry for the old chap we lug him to our tent, and look him over, ready to even bind up his wounds, if he has any." "Getting to be a habit, isn't it, Frank?" "Seems like it," returned the taller boy, as he once more turned toward the seated Indian.
"While we were away from camp for ten minutes, something happened. Why couldn't it have come about when we were on deck? There's a fine chance lost to get track of Havasupai; for I reckon you believe the same as I do, Frank, and that the old Moqui whom Charley saw was our Indian?" "Seems like it, Bob," replied the other, "but don't cry yet. Perhaps it may not be too late to remedy matters.
