The campamento of bathing-huts was ranged as usual on the velvet rim of the ear-like bay, but no bathers were there.

The peasants in the country round were afraid to bring in the produce of their dairies and barn-yards.
Shorn of his shaggy coat, with his tail trimmed smooth as that of a greyhound his skin, moreover, stained Indian fashion there seemed but slight danger that the animal could be recognised. A few hours' ride brought us to the western end of the pass; when, rounding a spur of the mountain, a wide plain was suddenly displayed to our view. "Mira!" exclaimed the Mexican, "el campamento de los Judios!"
From the elevation on which we stood, we could trace its tortuous windings, towards the distant Sierra of San Juan; and in the concavity of one of these almost upon the verge of our vision we beheld "el campamento de los Judios." Unprepared for it, we should never have thought of taking what we saw for an encampment of Mormons, or men of any kind.
