He had come to Arizona to find an Indian village and that he must do. "Why don't you go over the hill there? We used to find bits of pottery and arrowheads and even some Indian ornaments made of silver. I have a few of them at home. Be sure to remind me to show them to you. You'll be interested." The professor's face glowed with excitement.
There had at first been a difficulty in the matter of arrowheads, but this had been overcome by the discovery of an enormous deposit of flints in searching for which a rich mine of diamonds had come to light.
Kit burst out contemptuously. "Not much of a discovery in that. I'm sick and tired of arrowheads." "Why, I think it's wonderful to find one!" Bet examined the little sharpened piece of flint. "I wish I could find one." "I'll let you have this one," Tommy offered. "No, that wouldn't be the same. To make it a real treasure I must find one myself," answered Bet as she looked longingly at the stone.
Then a flight of spangled arrowheads would cross the line of sight and vanish, pursued by a form like a moving bar of gold. Then a great fish would materialise itself and hang in the shadow of the boat motionless as a stone, save for the movement of its gills; next moment with a twist of the tail it would be gone.
Our bows are bent; you are in our power. You are covered, one and all, by our aim." "Bring on your merrie men." Not one of the waylaid party had put arrow to bow. That, in short, their lives were in the power of the "merrie men," whose arrowheads and caps they could alone see peering from behind the tree trunks, and over the bank, amidst the purple heather. What a plight!
Man, the evolving savage, as Tylor, Lubbock, and others have proved for us, slowly putting off his brute aspect derived from his early ape-like ancestors, learned by infinitesimal degrees the use of fire, the mode of manufacturing stone hatchets and flint arrowheads, the earliest beginnings of the art of pottery.
I leaned over and looked. Upon the page of folio, close to an illuminated capital, the black drop had flattened itself. Around the original sphere had been shed splashes of all conceivable shapes-rays, rockets, dotted lines, arrowheads, all the freakish impromptu of chaos.
I planted about two acres and a half of upland; and as it was only about fifteen years since the land was cleared, and I myself had got out two or three cords of stumps, I did not give it any manure; but in the course of the summer it appeared by the arrowheads which I turned up in hoeing, that an extinct nation had anciently dwelt here and planted corn and beans ere white men came to clear the land, and so, to some extent, had exhausted the soil for this very crop.
Arrowheads sewed into a bandoleer are still worn as insignia of rank by warriors, and it is probable that such was also true in the past, so that on interment these arrowpoints might have been placed in the mortuary basin deposited by the side of the warrior, as indicative of his standing or rank, and the bandoleer or leather strap to which they were attached decayed during its long burial in the earth.
It is laid in the splints of their wooden arrows, or spread thickly upon their iron arrowheads, when they possess these. Another poison is of a pale glue color, which is supposed by Stanley to be made of crushed red ants. When fresh these poisons are deadly, producing excessive faintness, palpitation of the heart, nausea, and deep pallor, soon followed by death.
