The documents were discolored and the ink faded and this much Carson was able to decipher: "Jean Maldonado visited a far distant country north of Santa Fe a wide valley through which flowed a stream, along the banks were bushes that bore fruit like unto those of Spain in the valley were herds of oxen of the bigness and color of our bulls their horns are not so great they have a great bunch upon their fore shoulders and more hair on the forepart than on the hindpart; they have a horse's mane upon their backbone and much hair and very long from the knees downward they have great tufts of hair hanging from their foreheads and it seemeth they have beards they push with their horns they overtake and kill a horse finally it is a fierce beast of countenance and form of body we feared these beasts and stayed near the mountains named the Sangre de Christo.... Climbed the mountain to a great flat rock that stood on end like a platter.... Jean Maldonado, commander of an expedition reached this place 1750.... The mine yielded much gold in a rock like white china Babtiste beat it out with Mattheo returned from Santa Fe with more donkeys loaded donkeys with much unbeaten rock returned to Santa Fe"
The forepart of the ship being now relieved from the downward pressure of the air, caused by the upward movement of the balloons, this pressure still acting on the posterior wings, its equilibrium is destroyed; the forepart rises, the hindpart dips, thus changing the direction of the ship's course, by converting its vertical into an oblique movement, which is to carry it onward upon a plane inclined slightly upward.
He, our own cock-pheasant, might have chuckled as a cock-pheasant can, and will, very low and softly to himself, if you are close enough to hear him if something had not very suddenly and very mysteriously said "phtt!" just like that, close beside him. The old bird's head snicked round, right round, almost hindpart before; but he made no other movement.
The man without a word turned his back on me, exhibiting as he did so the extremely threadbare hindpart of his livery with a solitary reddish heraldic button on it; he put the plate down on the floor, and went away. 'Did you go to the police station? the same female voice called again. The man muttered something in reply.
Another and much louder noise of cracking followed, the floor visibly yielded, and the hindpart of the machine visibly sank about a quarter of an inch. But no more. The tackle held. The strain was distributed between the beam above and the beam below, and equilibrium established. "Out! Lad! Out!" cried Darius feebly, in the wreck, not of his workshop, but of his religion.
It was only a little sound, and it gave the skua barely a fraction of a second's warning; but, he being a wild thing, it was enough. Quick as light the bird had half turned upon one side, and flung up one claw and wing to cover his neck, whilst his head jerked round hindpart before in the same atom of time.
