The palmilla, standing like a huge porcupine upon the plain, cannot be mistaken; and he descries it at more than a mile's distance, the shadow of his own head already flickering among its bayonet-like blades. Just then something else comes under his eyes, which at once changes the expression upon his countenance. From gay it grows grave, serious, apprehensive.
It'll be useless venison now, I shan't care no more to put tooth into it myself. Frank Hamersley gone dead the man o' all others I'd 'a died to keep alive. I'd jest as soon lie down an' stop breathin' by the side o' him." While speaking he moves on towards the palmilla. A few strides bring him so near the tree that he can see the ground surface about its base.
It was no labour to fill her xuages with fresh water at every spring or runlet, to spread the blanket softly over her saddle, to weave her a quitasol out of the broad leaves of the palmilla, to assist her in mounting and dismounting. No; that was not labour to me. We were happy as we journeyed.
In less than five minutes after, the smoke from a sage-stalk fire was seen ascending from beside the palmilla, and in its blaze, quickly kindled, a huge piece of venison, cut from the fat flanks of the doe, weighing at least four pounds, spitted upon one of the stiff blades of the plant, was rapidly turning from blood red to burnt brown.
