Sir Richard Burton:
“The station was sighted in a deep hollow. It had a good stone corral and the visual haystack, which fires on the hilltops seem to menace. Amongst the station folks seem to menace. Amongst the station folks we found two New Yorkers, a Belfast man, and a tawny Mexican named Anton. The house was unusually neat, and even displayed signs of decoration in the adornment of the bunks with osier taken from the neighboring creek. We are now in the land of the Pa Yua… I observed however, that none of the natives were allowed to enter the station house.”
