11 screams of the monkey and catamount - being weaned I soon fell asleep. - About 3 o'clock was wakened to stand my turn in the watch. The air was heavy with moisture - the night dull and leaden. I took the gun and felt dismal enough. Daylight soon appeared - and with it the rising of the travellers - and preparations for departure. Out ladies complained much of the filthiness of the ranch and of the fluid - an invariable concomotanet of all Spanish ranches. A bowl of muddy coffee - apologized for breakfast and we set forth. The sun was just rising - and never shall I forget the beauty of that morning scene.
