The Yuman tribes of the mountains east of Santiago wore sandals of maguey fiber and descended from their own territory among the mountains "to eat calabash and other fruits" that grew beside the Colorado River. They were described as "very dirty on account of the much mescal they eat." Others speak of them as "very filthy in their habits.
Moreover, that part of the forest had fewer trees, and scarcely any sage or thickets, so that the lambs were safer, barring danger which might lurk in the seamed and cracked cliffs overshadowing the open grassy plots. Piute's task at the moment was to drag dead coyotes to the rim, near at hand, and throw them over. Mescal rested on a stone, and Wolf reclined at her feet.
But Father Naab doesn't trust Bolly, though she's the best mustang he ever broke." "Better keep her in," replied Jack, remembering Naab's warning. "I'll hobble her, so if she does break loose she can't go far." When Mescal and Jack drove in the sheep that afternoon, rather earlier than usual, Piute had returned with August Naab, Dave, and Billy, a string of mustangs and a pack-train of burros.
Hull was not pleased at this, and he said as much. Bartley tied Dobe to the back of the wagon. "Just keep your eye on the horses a minute," he told Hull. "I'll be back soon." Bartley felt unusually and inexplicably elated. He had not realized the extreme potency of mescal.
Think!" "Oh! I can't. What how shall I remember?" "Something about him. Think of his coat, his sleeve. You must remember something. Did you see his hands?" "Yes, I did when he was loosing the cords," said Mescal, eagerly. "Long, strong fingers. I felt them too. He has a sharp rough wart on one hand, I don't know which. He wears a leather wristband." "That's enough!"
"There's an abundant store of provisions here, dried meat, frijoles, chile, chocolate. You shall have a cup in a moment. There's ammunition in plenty. There's even a keg of mescal, which, saving your presence, sir, as I am temporary commander, shall be hidden before the men begin coming in with their prisoners. There's barley in abundance for horses and mules; water to drink and water to bathe in.
Hare broke a dead stalk of the cactus and was put to instant flight by a stream of bees pouring with angry buzz from the hollow centre. Two big fellows were so persistent that he had to beat them off with his hat. "You shouldn't despoil their homes," said Mescal, with a peal of laughter. "I'll break another stalk and get stung, if you'll laugh again," replied Hare.
The afternoon waned into twilight, and Hare sought the quiet shadows under the wall near the river trail. He meant to stay there until August Naab had pronounced his son and Mescal man and wife. The dull roar of the rapids borne on a faint puff of westerly breeze was lulled into a soothing murmur. A radiant white star peeped over the black rim of the wall.
The wild game which was, doubtless, abundant furnished them with meat and edible seeds, fruits and roots from native plants like the pinon pine and mesquite which together with the saguaro and mescal, supplied them with a variety of food sufficient for their subsistence as they do, in a measure, the wild Indian tribes of that region at the present day.
Hare's laugh echoed Mescal's as he pointed to the enclosure under the wall, where the graves showed bare and rough. Her warm color fled, but it flooded back, rich, mantling brow and cheek and neck. "Snap Naab will never kill you," she said impulsively. "Mescal." She swiftly turned her face away as his hand closed on hers. "Mescal, do you love me?"
