To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In particular, I feared that the sheer-fronted Sen- tinel Rock, which rises to a height of three thou- sand feet, would be shaken down, and I took ^ shelter back of a big pine, hoping I might be protected from outboimding boulders, should any come so far. I was now convinced that an earthquake had been the maker of the taluses^ and positive proof soon came. It was a calm moonlight night, and no sound was heard for the first minute or two save a low muffled un- dergroimd rumbUng and a shght rust...ling of the agitated trees, as if , in wrestling with the moun- tains, Nature were holding her breath. Then, suddenly, out of the strange silence and strange motion there came a tremendous roar. The Eagle Rock, a short distance up the valley, had given way, and I saw it falling in thousands of the great boulders I had been studying so long, 284 Digitized by VjOOQIC STREAMS OF YOSEMITE PARK pouring to the valley floor in a free curve lumi- nous from friction, making a terribly sublime and beautiful spectacle, — an arc of fire fifteen hundred feet span, as true in form and as steady as a rainbow, in the midst of the stupendous roaring rock storm.
