The mountain was high and rough, and a point ran out into the sea making a sort of harbor.

This town was built much as the others had been except perhaps the Mission which seemed better.
The roofs were as flat as the floors and were covered with a sort of tar which made them water-proof.

The material of the houses was sun-dried bricks, two feet long by one foot wide and four to six inches thick.
There was no lime in the mortar of this mason work, and the openings in the walls had iron bars across them instead of sash and glass.

Dried hides were spread upon the floors, and there was a large earthen jar for water, but not a table, bedstead or chair could be seen in the rooms we saw.

A man came along, rode right in at the door, turned around and rode out again.
