I think we may safely stick to the river. I'm acquainted with its course for at least thirty leagues further up. At about half that distance from here it makes a big elbow, and just there, I remember, an old Indian path strikes off from it, to cross a _traveria_. Ha! that's good as sure to be the route these redskins have taken. For now, I think of it, the path was a big, broad road, and must have been much-travelled by Indians of some kind or other. So, _muchachos_; we can't do better than keep on to where it parts from the water's edge. Possibly on the _traveria_, which chances to be a _salitral_ as well, we may find the ground clear of this detestable stuff, and once more hit off the _rastro_ of these murderous robbers.
