"I'm talking about that land-slide what do you mean?" laughed John, beginning to understand that Jeb was worried over something other than the Grizzly experience. "Wh y Ah'm meanin' that widder! It's leap-year, you know."
This rest, together with preparations for the journey to Esmeralda, kept us there a week, and the delay gave us the opportunity to be present at the trial of the great land-slide case of Hyde vs. Morgan an episode which is famous in Nevada to this day. After a word or two of necessary explanation, I will set down the history of this singular affair just as it transpired.
Our job seemed endless. Jimmy had retired early, for he could help us but little in this work. It rained again in torrents, and the wind howled about the tent. After midnight, as we still toiled, a land-slide, loosened by the soaking rains, thundered down the mountain side about a fourth of a mile below our camp. We hoped Jimmy would not hear it. We retired soon after this.
This long stretch terminated in a land-slide leading down into the dry, rocky bed of a mountain stream. At the head of the slide we turned our mounts loose, and all got down as best we could, except Mr. Forbes, who rode down in state on his cow-pony. Once over, we crossed a village along the edge of a rice-terrace, in which our horses sank almost up to their knees.
Seems as if the land had slid from under my feet. What am I to do?" "Say so," replied Radbourn, his eyes kindling. "Say so, and get out of it. There's nothing worse than staying where you are. What have you saved from the general land-slide?" Pill smiled a little. "I don't know." "Want me to cross-examine you and see, eh? Very well, here goes." He settled back with a smile.
The land-slide is clearly visible, the young tree, torn up by the roots, is a ghost, with brown, withered leaves, and there are the jagged rocks going steeply down to the shore. If no hand had been there to save! If no steady foot had dared climb from point to point! He wonders now how she did it! It seems a greater miracle than before.
Then in as few words as possible, the boys were told all about the land-slide on Grizzly that had, most likely, buried Choko's Find under tons and tons of débris maybe, hid it completely again for all time. They sat in Simms' office talking over the plans for the morrow when a large party was to go up Top Notch.
For the sake of all morality and manhood, don't go on cursing yourself with hypocrisy." Mr. Pill took a chew of tobacco rather distractedly, and said: "I'd like to ask you a few questions." "No, not now. You think out your present position yourself. Find out just what you have saved from your land-slide."
A short distance below our camp we saw the land-slide which we heard the night before tons of earth and shattered rock wrapped about the split and stripped trunks of a half-dozen pines. The slide was started by the dislodged section of a sheer wall close to the top of the 2700-foot cliff.
When a political land-slide occurs on the occasion of a presidential election in the United States, the unity of will expresses the social mind. The emotional phase is temporary, public opinion changes more slowly; all the time the social mind is gaining experience and learning wisdom, as does the individual.
