| 13 | 133 | Coming over a low, rolling hill, we saw a large number of tents pitched in a circle, surrounding a large grassy area. |
| 13 | 134 | In the grassy area, perhaps about two hundred yards in diameter, there were literally hundreds of small, stone altars. |
| 13 | 135 | There was a large circular stone platform in the center of the field. |
| 13 | 136 | On the top of this platform was a huge, four-sided altar which was approached by steps on all four sides. |
| 13 | 137 | On one side of this altar I saw the sign of the Tuchuks, and on the others, that of the Kassars, the Kataii and the Paravaci. |
| 13 | 138 | I had not mentioned the matter of the Paravaci quiva which had almost struck me last night, having been in the morning disturbed about the disappearance of Elizabeth Cardwell and in the afternoon busy following Kamchak about in his rounds. |
| 13 | 139 | I resolved to mention the matter to him sometime—but not this evening—for I was convinced this would not be a good evening for anyone in the wagon, except perhaps for Kamchak, who seemed pleased about the arrangements he had made with the herder pertaining to crossing livestock and the bargain, it seemed, he had contracted with the fellow with the quivas and saddle. |
