We had heard, the day before, at Vic- toria, that two parties, w^ho wished to meet, had passed one another unnoticed, and it now seemed quite credible ; one had taken the right of the road, the other the left. We, ourselves, A TRIP TO THE COAST. 247 usually rode outside all tlie tracks, using them only as a guide to our course. We met the mail-coach standing in the opposite direction, many hundred yards to our left, across the way. The storm was severe, and during the whole day we saw no one wo...rking to windward but ourselves. The distance to La- vacca was twenty-eight miles. We passed, until near our arri- val there, but one house, a miserable, half-drowned ranch, upon a sligbt elevation, near a still creek. The rain fell constantly, and the clay-soil ■ having been saturated before, the whole now remained upon the surface, so that we waded through water fet- lock deep. WhereV'Cr the turf was not too soft to support tlie hoofs of the horses, we went at round trot, splashing sheets of water over one another.
