Jerry labored up the hillside until he finally came to where he could look down at the water as it shot over the edge.
A gentleman and lady rode up here with me, and I got a horse on the beach with a native bullock saddle on him, an uncouth contrivance of wood not covered with hide, and a strong lassoing horn.

"And I don't think you and I had better brag any more about lassoing until you can catch your pony down there in the chaparral;" and Hal went for his pony. The evening of the third day from the pass brought us to the head of Quercos cañon, where we came upon a party of Mexicans and Papago Indians, engaged in manufacturing mescal, the native whiskey of the country.
