These are way beyond Grand View and the old Hance Trails, and are Pinal and Lipan Points, leading the eye to a "wavy" wall, slightly to their left. This wall, topped with a series of curves, is the western wall of the Little Colorado River; and the smoother wall beyond, to the left, is the further or eastern wall.
Only I shall write my General that I have sought to restrain you." To us the prevailing local fears seemed absurd. Admittedly there were only sixteen of the Lipans then left, men, women, and children, their chief, Juan Galan, the son by a Lipan squaw, of the father of Garza Galan, then the leading merchant of the town, and later a distinguished Governor of his State.
They came next to a harbour in the island of Sarangani, reported to yield both pearls and gold. At this place they pressed two pilots to conduct them to the Moluccas; and passing the islands named Ceana, Canida, Cabiaia, Camuca, Cabalu, Chiari, Lipan, and Nuza, they came to a fair isle in lat 3° 20' N. named Sangir.
Shortly after joining company "D" I was sent out on scouting duty with another company of the regiment to Camp La Pena, about sixty or seventy miles east of Fort Duncan, in a section of country that had for some time past been subjected to raids by the Lipan and Comanche Indians.
The Lipans did not utter another war cry, but settled down into a steady pursuit. "I think I'll try a shot, Obed," said Ned. "All right," said Obed, "but be sure that you hit something. Never waste a good bullet on empty air." Ned fired. He missed the Lipan at whom he aimed, but he killed the pony the warrior was riding.
At the battle of Lipan they were defeated, routed, crushed out of existence. . The battle became a massacre. The slaughter continued all the night and part of the following day, and hundreds were burned to death in their huts. Was this to be the end of Hus's strivings? What was it in Hus that was destined to survive? What was it that worked like a silent leaven amid the clamours of war?
Old Jack had run his good race and won the victory, and he, too, cared for nothing but to rest. Before morning some Lipan buffalo hunters passed, but they took no notice of the grove and soon disappeared in the west.
It is so picturesque that an architect might study it with advantage, and derive from it valuable hints in designing the entrance to a cathedral.

He snatched up his pistol and fired a second shot which severely wounded a Lipan rider, and then all three parties of the Lipans, fearing the formidable hedge, turned and galloped back, leaving two of their number lifeless upon the ground. Obed had not fired his pistol, but he stood holding it in his hand, his eyes flashing with grim triumph. Ned was rapidly reloading his rifle.
Two hundred miles to the northwest of San Antonio the Spanish priests had started the mission of San Saba, in 1857, among the Lipan Apaches; but that had been destroyed in the spring of the next year by the Comanches, Wichitas, Tawehash, and other Indians who hated the Apaches and the Spaniards both.
