This order originated, I afterwards discovered, in consequence of some unaccountable disagreement which had arisen between the general and the admiral.

They built houses at that village, and lived there for some considerable time; then they moved a short distance and built again almost on the very point of the mesa. This change was not caused by any disagreement with their neighbors; they simply chose that point as a suitable place on which to build all their houses together. The site of this Bear house is called Kiskobi, the obliterated house, and the name is very appropriate, as there is merely the faintest trace here and there to show ...
