HIS SPEFD Y RELEASE.
gaze was Jimmy, standing a short distance away, firmly held
in the tight grip of two stalwart Zunis, who were patiently
waiting for me to awake, that they might deliver the prisoner into my charge.
Upon inquiry, I learned that Jimmy had been arrested just
at the break of day, as he was entering the pueblo, for the
old cacique had given his orders with such promptness, that
Jimmy, who had absented himself so quietly that we should
never have known it, had been fairly caught in the trap.
At a signal from me, the Zunis released him, and I bade
him go and prepare breakfast, while I rewarded the men
so liberally that I felt confident that Jimmy would hereafter
stand but little chance of evading their sharp eyes, should
he attempt to renew his visit.
As for Jimmy, he showed so plainly his shame and mortification at his unsuccessful attempt to disobey orders, that
I resolved not to speak of his unfortunate escapade, unless
he should give further cause for complaint, by his efforts
to seek an interview with the Zuni damsel.
Breakfast over, Dr. Parker and myself, accompanied by
a member of the council and Don Rafael, left camp for the
purpose of paying a visit to old Zuni.
Following the same trail, and going through the same
gorge travelled the day before, we passed the Sacred
Spring, and commenced our ascent along a steep and almost
inaccessible path that led to the heights.
