The inhabitants of the two ruins of the Red-rocks used obsidian arrowpoints with shafts of reeds, and evidently highly regarded fragments of the former material for knives, spearheads, and one or two other purposes. The stone metates from these ruins are in no respect characteristic, and several fine specimens were found in place on the floors of the rooms.
The mental survey of a thousand men en bloc conveys immediately to the mind what an obvious and unmistakable target a battalion forms. Eyes apprehensively search the sky for the danger that each one knows lurks somewhere up there in that black pall, the darker by contrast with the brilliant spearheads of light searching to and fro.
"Nay," replied Phraortes, "for we have no arms. But if the king will give us swords and spearheads " "To what end?" asked Atossa. She was perfectly calm since she saw that there was no fear of Phraortes making a mistake upon this vital point. "What need have I of a force to protect lands that are all within a day's journey of the king's fortress?
She's just been carried along from an age of spearheads and plunked down here with the equipment of an archer for going into a pistol duel. You could sweep away the entire crust of history and she'd never know the difference." "I wish our Richard would write about her." "Anthony, surely you don't think she's worth writing about." "As much as anybody," he answered, yawning.
Presently there was a distant blare of military music; it came nearer, still nearer, and soon a noble cavalcade wound into view, glorious with plumed helmets and flashing mail and flaunting banners and rich doublets and horse-cloths and gilded spearheads; and through the muck and swine, and naked brats, and joyous dogs, and shabby huts, it took its gallant way, and in its wake we followed.
There was Mok, the mentor, who had grown so fond of him, and there was most interesting work to do in making from the dark flint nodules or obsidian fragments always eagerly seized upon when discovered by the cave people in their wanderings the spearheads and rude knives and skin scrapers so essential to their needs. The flint nodule was but a small mass of the stone, often somewhat pear-shaped.
"Well, anyhow, I can hunt for the Willard tags the queer catch on the door; the acorns, balls, or spearheads; and the painted lace or the naval battles." At the final phrase the Scotchman smiled whimsically. "It is funny Willard should have been so keen on sea fights," remarked he, "for as a matter of fact he was anything but a fighter.
With a good ax and these two revolvers till I find some rifles I guess we're safe enough, spearheads or not!" About him he glanced at the ever-present molder and decay. This office, he could easily see, had been both spacious and luxurious, but now it offered a sorry spectacle. In the dust over by a window something glittered dully.
Its gaze riveted mine; my blood curdled in the blaze from its angry ball; and now as it advanced larger and larger, other Eyes, as if of giants in its train, grew out from the space in its rear numbers on numbers, like the spearheads of some Eastern army, seen afar by pale warders of battlements doomed to the dust.
Presently, the Spaniards, as they gazed from the bridge, began to take heart again. One after another, many of the lesser vessels drifted blindly against the raft, where they entangled themselves among the hooks and gigantic spearheads, and burned slowly out without causing any extensive conflagration. Others grounded on the banks of the river, before reaching their destination.
