To-day, the comfortable traveller on the railway, crossing the river near The Needles, has also forgotten these things and Lieutenant Ives as well.
Many Cocopas, Yumas, Mohaves, and Chemehuevis were met with since the trip began, but there had been no trouble with any of them.

Ives now began to inquire for a former guide of Whipple's, whom he pleasantly remembered and whose name was Ireteba.

Fortunately, he soon came across him and engaged his services.

Ireteba was a Mohave, but possessed one of those fine natures found in every clime and colour.

He was always true and intelligent, and of great service to the expedition.
