Many ‘fresh signs’? of Indians were seen, but, as on previous 
days, we could not catch a glimpse of them. They carefully avoid- 
ed us. This evening, however, as Robideaux unarmed was riding 
in advance, he emerged suddenly from acayity in the ground, thickly 
. masqued by mezquite. He had discovered two Indians on horse 
back within twenty yards of him. The interview was awkward to 
both parties, but Robideaux was soon relieved by the arrival of the 
head’of our column. The-Indians were thrown into the greatest 
consternation; they were tolerably mounted, but escape was hope- 
~ less. wo more miserable looking objects I never beheld; their 
legs, (unlike the Apaches we left behind) were large and muscular, 
but their faces and bodies (for they were naked,) were one mass of 
Sg 
of expressing joy,) we left them and their horses untouche 
They were supposed by some to be the Cayotes, a branch of .the 
Apaches, but Londeau thought they belonged to the tribe of Trem- 
blers, who-acquired their name from their emotions at meeting’ the 
whites.
