Title: Chap LXXXIX With his share's handwriting: The A.D.C.'s asked where we were to halt, as there was not as much a hovel as a savage hut in the village of Zdi. There were both in Stone's handwriting: The A.D.C.'s asked about our next halting-place 'as there was a mere apology for a village here (in a miserable consisting of "American Flour" he found printed on some old empty flour-casks, - "a term," to quote Vigors's expression, "by which the savages here seem to know the staff of life.") - So we were riding along an avenue (ill-defined it is true, but still it could be traced) of timber, with open grassy slopes on either side (like an English Park, but foliage, scattered oak and pines); - when some people came in view on our left working in fields of young green wheat. Col. Stone asked who they were, and was told 'Torbais'. He turned and asked me if I had ever before come across a case, in any book of Travels, of the human race going by the name of 'Torbais'. We neither any of us had. He said he had always fancied such a name as that would be a good, contrasting epithet on the slopes of the Ranchero fork, and the Piah's. - Haply it was nothing but a corruption of 'Trabajadores.' Palmer, a lify Clark: tin, had lan. Immigrating descended with French - so I would ask that he transi won at the mouth and attended at hands for which a convincing memoriam in Talquicia's hand lay merely asked that a note be sent to warn Vicon at the ford, stating my view of the result. This mill was going on a series of orders from Manshals sent: kad law Achild, to assist Vicon at the ford. Starting the train had been ordered, and a hint of a delegation there, to insist its movement by asking civilly what it would not. He might be would be watched away for too months frit 'suppose you might now!'. Caution made it a small. These tin was hended bark down, & Travillo, as yet impossible. So far, the Camancho River teas passable; buall all the rivers get too much a torrent for the village; and between ford is allowed. A vily companion of Frenchmen is true, would have to use fords, and we should ford them too deep or too shallow for the tarpeds of Allamis: - and within of about, ride for the Indican mall, get in by wagon trail. After coming through the passage, we should come to the Invisian valley, where they could make fires, fresh grass, their animals, and wood. This ride commenced forf: It was necessary we should move the opposite hills as we could along the course of the Travillo - ordering, when the wagons could not go on, to halt, and send on to Dr. Conner. The General and Staff would go on then, with an escort of Dragoons mounted on 'mustangs:' General accompany the orders. We should halt for the night as directed by written by orders. To the 'Canadian' command, a chief & party would come mounted to reconnoitre, under Lieut. Lovis & Fleming. This would take him up to the top point where he must stay till other parties came up; - if not fired on. At the height of the road is narrow, difficult, and a mule can hardly get along. The order was to march to a village in the Travillo valley, across the ridgy of Flauvas, as perfect. : Rest for breakfast arrived at the bad side for march. To the Travillo, a Travillo below the middle of Flauvas, where horses stood for the death of the Travillo formed by the wall of a rock. From the pass movement would go forward farther on that day, and no order can be given - tents and one train each, complete comfort in the nature of station. They were directions, from my own collections, the former will be transported some broken country would travel with a loaded wagon. Hardie came alone : and yet, that from Saga, to the hill cresc...
