“兄弟们，往右边走有井。”一个嘴唇紧绷、脸刮得很光净、头发

斑白的人说。

"To the right of the Sierra Blanco—so we shall reach the
Rio Grande," said another.

“向谢拉布兰卡山的右侧前进，咱们就可以到达里奥·格兰德。”另

"Fear not for water," cried a third. "He who could draw it

from the rocks will not now abandon His own chosen

"Amen! Amen!" responded the whole party.

“阿门！阿门！”所有人同声回答。

They were about to resume their journey when one of
the youngest and keenest-eyed uttered an exclamation and
pointed up at the rugged crag above them. From its summit

there fluttered a little wisp of pink, showing up hard and

粉红色的东西在摆动着，在灰色的岩石衬托下，显得非常突出。一看
到这个，骑手们便一起勒住马缰，取出来复枪，同时，更多的骑手从

后面疾驰上来增援。所有人都异口同声地喊道：“红人！”

"There can't be any number of Injuns here," said the

elderly man who appeared to be in command. "We have
passed the Pawnees, and there are no other tribes until we
cross the great mountains."
