Thither we went ; the Jews, who should 5 Digitized by Google 66 The Silverado Squatters already have been miles into Lake County, still cheerily accompanying us. For about a furlong we followed a good road along the hillside through the forest, until sud- denly that road widened out and came abruptly to an end. A canyon, woody below, red, rocky, and naked overhead, was here walled across by a dump of rolling stones, dangerously steep, and from twenty to thirty feet in height. A rusty iron chute... on wooden legs came flying, like a monstrous gargoyle, across the parapet.

The whole canyon was so entirely blocked, as if by some rude guerilla fortification, that we could only mount by lengths of wooden ladder, fixed in the hillside. These led us round the farther corner of the dump ; and when they were at an end, we still persevered over loose rubble and wading deep in poison oak, till we struck a triangular platform, filling up the whole Digitized by Google With the Children of Israel 67 glen, and shut in on either hand by bold projections of the mountain.
