White still clung to the logs, and it was only when the raft seemed to be floating smoothly and the sound of the rapids was behind that he dared to look up; then it was to find himself alone, the provisions lost, and the shadows of the black Canyon warning him of the approaching night. A feeling of despair seized him, and, clasping his hands, he prayed for the death he was fleeing from. He was made cognizant of more immediate danger by the shaking of his raft the logs were separating. Then he w...orked and succeeded in effecting a landing near some flat rocks, where he made his raft fast for the night. After this he sat down to spend the long, gloomy hours in contemplating the horror of his situation and the small chance of completing the adventurous voyage he had undertaken. He blamed himself for not having fought the Indians till he had fallen by the side of Baker. He might have escaped through the San Juan Valley and the mountains beyond to the settlements. Had he done so he would have returned to his home and rested satisfied with his experience as a prospector.
