None of us visited it at that time, but Thompson went there later, and I crossed its slopes twice several years afterward. On the summit is a circular ruin about twenty feet in diameter with walls remaining two feet high. It will be remembered that we had left one of our boats near the mouth of the Dirty Devil River.
The meeting was held in the Church of the Puritans, May 12, 1864, and soul-stirring speeches were made by Phillips, Mrs. Rose, Lucretia Mott, George Thompson, Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony.
The loss of liberty, the weary pacing of the enclosure in front of their barracks, the lack of interesting occupation, home-sickness, and general discomfort, these were the ills of which they spoke. Among the prisoners was General Jeff. Thompson, of Missouri, the ranking officer among them, as I recollect, and I sought an introduction to him and talked with him in regard to the prison life.
"To me, boy! no; I think that you had better manage that, for you know you are only occasionally at home." "Well, father, be it so," replied Newton, laughing: "but here comes Mr Dragwell and Mr Hilton, to consult with us what ought to be done relative to the effects of poor old Thompson. He has neither kith nor kin, to the ninety-ninth degree, that we can find out."
If she should tell Miss Thompson the truth, the principal would believe her. Julia would receive her just deserts but, oh, bitter thought, there would be no more basketball that season. Grace felt that she had no right to sacrifice the pleasure of so many others, even for Anne's sake.

Any suspicion the fair young detective may have entertained that Thompson himself had killed his friend was eradicated by the fact that he had been robbed at the same time. Louise had originally undertaken her investigation through curiosity and a desire to amuse herself by unveiling the mystery.
The next step in the plan was by lucky accident. Thompson was himself a young man and a student. His department placed an insuperable obstacle in the way of himself carrying out a plan which he, also, had conceived, and he was keen to see the idea, which he fully believed in, demonstrated on the battle-field.
There were three of us, and probably we were among the first whites to go there. Powell the autumn after the men were killed went to the Uinkaret Mountains, but did not continue over to the Shewits Plateau. Thompson went there in 1872. *I have since been told that these men were killed near Mt. Dellenbaugh, but my version is as I remember Jacob Hamblin's statement to me in 1872.
This seemed much the same sort of thing to me, and so I felt nice and virtuous, too, as Vic does when she comes home with a new frock torn and stepped on, and lies in bed late next day, with Thompson to brush her hair, and me to read to her.
