Indians of the Yosemite Valley and Vicinity

CHAPTER Seven
10/22

When they had finished their bath they went on shore and lay down on a large boulder to dry themselves in the sun.

While lying there they fell asleep, and slept so soundly that they never woke up again.
Through many moons and many snows they slept, and while they slept the great rock [El Capitan] on which they lay was slowly rising, little by little, until it soon lifted them up out of sight, and their friends searched for them everywhere without success.

Thus they were carried up into the blue sky, until they scraped their faces against the moon; and still they slept on.

The lower dome to the right is the basket which she threw at him.
