He moved it back and forth as he struck it further into the earth, until the canyon was formed through which all the water rushed out into the Sea of the Sunset. Then, as the sun shone, the ground became hard and solid, as we find it to-day. The Havasupai Legend of the Canyon.
"Yes," added Frank, falling in with the idea; "and perhaps there are the Moquis from his village who may have had word somehow of his return, searching for Havasupai, and bent on bringing him to the bar of their tribal law.
It was concluded that all these ruins were abandoned at a comparatively recent date, or not more than three or four centuries ago, and the Havasupai Indians of Cataract canyon were regarded as descendants of the former inhabitants of these villages.
The white boys must say to Havasupai that they will not try to follow him." Frank looked at his chum, and nodded.
In fact it comprised nearly four-fifths of all the Indian knew. "White boy heap wise; he know that the man give Havasupai talking paper. Much great man; know all. Tell Havasupai about cliff men. Find much good cook pot, heap more stuff in cave. Find out how cave men live. Write all down in book. Send Havasupai one, promise. It is well!"
Admitting that the sharper declivity of the Kanab would enhance its power of corrasion, nevertheless we should expect to see it approach the Grand Canyon by leaps and bounds, like the Havasupai farther down, but, on the contrary, there are parts that appear to be at a standstill in corrasion, or even filling up, and its floor is a regular descent, except for the last three or four miles where the canyon is clogged by huge rocks that seem to have fallen from above.
And Bob, I learned that an old Moqui Indian had been seen heading toward the East late last night!" "And you think it may have been our friend, Havasupai?" asked Bob. "I'm pretty sure of it, from the descriptions they gave me," came the answer.
"No can say; in canyon where picture rocks lie; that all," he finally declared, and Frank knew Indians well enough to feel sure that no torture could be painful enough to induce Havasupai to betray one he believed his friend, and whose magic talking paper he carried inside his shirt, to prove his good character.
After the advent of the Spaniards, they obtained peach trees, and they now grow far more peaches than they can eat, drying large quantities, some of which they sell to ranchers, miners and other outsiders. They also have fine figs. * Since this chapter was put into type, the Havasupai village has been swept nearly out of existence by a flood.
Perhaps it was shame that caused this: or it might have been a desire to keep his face hidden from the searching eyes of the white boys. Then, as though realizing the utter folly of denying what must appear so evident, he nodded his head slowly. "It is true, white boy," he muttered, in fair English. "Havasupai meant to take a horse.
