It
was
a
bewildering
route
for
anyone
who
was
not
accustomed
to
face
Nature
in
her
wildest
moods
.
On
the
one
side
a
great
crag
towered
up
a
thousand
feet
or
more
,
black
,
stern
,
and
menacing
,
with
long
basaltic
columns
upon
its
rugged
surface
like
the
ribs
of
some
petrified
monster
.
On
the
other
hand
a
wild
chaos
of
boulders
and
debris
made
all
advance
impossible
.
Between
the
two
ran
the
irregular
track
,
so
narrow
in
places
that
they
had
to
travel
in
Indian
file
,
and
so
rough
that
only
practised
riders
could
have
traversed
it
at
all
.
Yet
in
spite
of
all
dangers
and
difficulties
,
the
hearts
of
the
fugitives
were
light
within
them
,
for
every
step
increased
the
distance
between
them
and
the
terrible
despotism
from
which
they
were
flying
.
They
soon
had
a
proof
,
however
,
that
they
were
still
within
the
jurisdiction
of
the
Saints
.
They
had
reached
the
very
wildest
and
most
desolate
portion
of
the
pass
when
the
girl
gave
a
startled
cry
,
and
pointed
upwards
.
On
a
rock
which
overlooked
the
track
,
showing
out
dark
and
plain
against
the
sky
,
there
stood
a
solitary
sentinel
.
He
saw
them
as
soon
as
they
perceived
him
,
and
his
military
challenge
of
"
Who
goes
there
?
"
rang
through
the
silent
ravine
.
"
Travellers
for
Nevada
,
"
said
Jefferson
Hope
,
with
his
hand
upon
the
rifle
which
hung
by
his
saddle
.
They
could
see
the
lonely
watcher
fingering
his
gun
,
and
peering
down
at
them
as
if
dissatisfied
at
their
reply
.
"
By
whose
permission
?
"
he
asked
.
"
The
Holy
Four
,
"
answered
Ferrier
.
His
Mormon
experiences
had
taught
him
that
that
was
the
highest
authority
to
which
he
could
refer
.
"
Nine
from
seven
,
"
cried
the
sentinel
.
"
Seven
from
five
,
"
returned
Jefferson
Hope
promptly
,
remembering
the
countersign
which
he
had
heard
in
the
garden
.
"
Pass
,
and
the
Lord
go
with
you
,
"
said
the
voice
from
above
