The Indians first landed in a small canoe we had provided ourselves with, to see if the coast was clear; and in the evening the schooner was far on her way back, while we were digging a cachette to conceal the baggage, which we could not carry. Even my saddle was wrapped up in a piece of canvas, and deposited in a deep bed of shale.
The place generally selected for a cachette is a swell in the prairie, sufficiently elevated to be protected from any kind of inundation, and the arrangement is so excellent, that it is very seldom that the traders lose anything in their cachette, either by the Indians, the changes of the climate, or the natural dampness of the earth.
At about eleven o'clock we reached the confines of the rocky ground; here we rested for three hours, and took a meal, of which we were very much in want, having tasted nothing but berries and plums since our departure from the schooner, for we had been so much engrossed by the digging of the cachette that we had forgotten to take with us any kind of provision.

Wentworth answered. "And why does n't he come to meet me?" Eugenia cried. "I am afraid he is not so charming as his sisters." "I don't know; I will see about it," the old man declared. "He is rather afraid of ladies," Charlotte said, softly. "He is very handsome," said Gertrude, as loud as she could. "We will go in and find him. We will draw him out of his cachette." And the Baroness took Mr.
By this time their beasts of burden were so tired and broken down that they had become of no use. They were therefore obliged to conceal their goods, and arrived without any more trouble at Santa Fe, when procuring other mules, they returned to their cachette. Many readers are probably unaware of the process employed by the traders to conceal their cargo, their arms, and even their provisions.
