Through the Grand Canyon from Wyoming to Mexico, with a foreword by Owen Wister;new edition with (72 plates) from photographs by the author and his brother . ned to the river, after passing overthe riffles; the screenings which remained passed oversquare metal plates — looking like sheets of tin — coveredwith quicksilver. These plates were cleaned with arubber window-cleaner, and the entire residue wassaved in a heavy metal pot, ready for the chemist. One day only was needed for our work, and by eveningwe were ready for the next plunge. We might haveenjoyed a longer stay with these men, but stronger thanthis desire was our anxiety to reach our home, separatedfrom us by a hundred miles of river, no extended partof the distance being entirely free from rapids. Wehad written to the Grand Canyon, bidding them lookfor our signal fire in Bright Angel Creek Canyon, in fromseven to ten days, and planned to leave on the followingmorning. Nothing held us now except the hope that themail, which was due that evening, might bring us a letter,although that was doubtful, for we were nearly a weekahead of our schedule as laid out at Green River, BADGER CREEK RAPID.
