This is shown by the fact that in this ochre-colored clay, and penetrating to a greater or less depth the sandstone below, are dug, not only the great longitudinal channel of the Amazons itself, but also the lateral furrows through which its tributaries reach the main stream, and the network of anastomosing branches flowing between them; the whole forming the most extraordinary river system in the world.
The islands also in the main course of the Amazons consist invariably of river-mud, while those arising from the intersection and cutting off of portions of the land by diverging branches of the main stream always consist of the well-known sandstones, capped by the ochre-colored clay.
Leaving orders for trade with the chief clerk at Maurepas, De la Vérendrye picked out his most intrepid men; and in September of 1738, for the first time in history, white men glided up the ochre-colored, muddy current of the Red for the Forks of the Assiniboine. Ten Cree wigwams and two war chiefs awaited De la Vérendrye on the low flats of what are now known as South Winnipeg.
"Are you Maga Jhaere?" asked Gloria, first of us all to recover some measure of self-command. Maga nodded. She was barefooted, clothed only in bodice and leather jacket and a rather short ochre-colored skirt that blew in the gaining wind and showed the outline of her lithe young figure. Her long black hair billowed and galloped in the wind behind her.
The sleet had stopped; but the pavements were covered with slush and in the gutters were large puddles which the wind ruffled. Everything, houses, bridges, river and sky, was in shades of cold grey-green, broken by one jagged ochre-colored rift across the sky against which the bulk of Notre Dame and the slender spire of the crossing rose dark and purplish.
They had farmed it all summer, they said, and were tanned so deep a hue that their faces bore no small resemblance to ham. Ruth brought me some apples in an ochre-colored bag, and Sally eyed me with her old severity.
By five o'clock they had crossed the Black Mountains covered with pines and cedars, and the "Albatross" was over the appropriately named Bad Lands of Nebraska a chaos of ochre-colored hills, of mountainous fragments fallen on the soil and broken in their fall. At a distance these blocks take the most fantastic shapes.
These ochre-colored bluffs formed of conglomerate sandstone and full of fossils signal the entrance to the Canyon. At its base lies Weber Station. Echo Canyon is about twenty-five miles long. It is really the sublimest thing between the Missouri and the Sierra Nevada.
It twisted in and out among the rocks towards more broken country. "There may be a canyon leading South over there," he pointed. "Y' might try for a spring beneath that big rock. Looks green at the bottom." A mist as of primrose or fire tinged the lakes of quivering light lying on the ochre-colored mesas.
"That already pleases me," said Sulpice. "It is true. This short promenade is nothing, but it suffices to make one forget many things." "Does it not?" exclaimed Vaudrey. The shadow of his coupé was still projected between them along the ochre-colored road. "Do you come to the Bois often?" asked the minister. "No. Why?" "Because I shall frequently return here," he said in a trembling voice.
