Show 26 Can you imagine it? A gorge as deep as the Grand Canyon on one side and a hundred screamin' Indians on the other! No doubt it looks to you as if we were to be done in. Only we weren't! To Emmett's tail, I snubbed Sadie. To Sadie's tail, I snubbed Zeke. To Zeke's tail, I snubbed Bee. And then I jumped on Emmett. And I waved goodbye to the Indians. And I spurred the mules over the cliff! Down we fell, some rocks and dirt falling with us. We passed several trees growing on the side of the cliff. We passed several birds flying about. We saw the ground comin' up fast. Two steps from the bottom, I filled my lungs and shouted, "Whoa!" Emmett stopped dead still. I slipped of his back and eased the mules to the ground. An' that was the last we ever saw of those Indians. |
