In our walk about this city of mud we saw many things that seemed strange to us.

There were more women than men, and more children than grown-up people, while the dogs were plenty.

At the edge of the town, near the river were some grape vines fenced in with living willows, interlaced in some places with dry vines.

The Indians moved very moderately around and no doubt had plenty of beef to eat, with very few wants to provide for.

We noticed some few people paying for small things at the stores with small money.
