I
made
the
attempt
--
first
trying
to
set
him
on
his
own
horse
.
"
But
the
saddle
being
a
flat
one
,
and
the
animal
still
remaining
restive
,
I
did
not
succeed
.
"
There
was
but
one
other
chance
of
our
making
the
home
journey
together
:
by
exchanging
horses
.
"
I
knew
that
my
own
would
not
object
.
Besides
,
my
Mexican
saddle
,
with
its
deep
tree
,
would
answer
admirably
for
the
purpose
.
"
In
a
short
while
I
had
the
body
in
it
,
seated
erect
,
--
in
the
natural
position
.
Its
stiffness
,
that
had
obstructed
me
before
,
now
served
to
keep
it
in
its
place
.
The
rigid
limbs
were
easily
drawn
into
the
proper
stride
;
and
with
the
feet
inserted
into
the
stirrups
,
and
the
water-guards
buckled
tightly
over
the
thighs
,
there
was
little
chance
of
the
body
slipping
off
.
"
To
make
it
thoroughly
secure
,
I
cut
a
length
from
my
lazo
;
and
,
warping
it
round
the
waist
,
fastened
one
end
to
the
pommel
in
front
,
the
other
to
the
cantle
behind
.
"
A
separate
piece
tied
to
the
stirrups
,
and
passing
under
the
belly
of
the
horse
,
kept
the
feet
from
swinging
about
.
"
The
head
still
remained
to
be
dealt
with
.
It
too
must
be
taken
along
.
"
On
lifting
it
from
the
ground
,
and
endeavouring
to
detach
it
from
the
hat
,
I
found
that
this
could
not
be
done
.
It
was
swollen
to
enormous
dimensions
;
and
the
sombrero
adhered
to
it
--
close
as
the
skin
itself
.
