They thought her delirious from her suf- ferings, when suddenly a babel of sounds broke forth from the oxen and mules, all frantic and endeavoring to break loose from the wagon poles. A rustling noise called their attention to a slight depression near the wagons, and on investigating the cause they found water gush- ing up out of the sand, sweet, clear, but warm.
