never be found, and the Indians believe that it was taken away by
the spirits of Kos-su´-kah and Tee-hee´-nay. In memory of
them, and of this tragedy, the slender spire of rock [sometimes
called "The Devil's Thumb"] that rises heavenward near the top of
the cliff at this point is known among the Indians as Hum-mo´,
or the Lost Arrow.

HINTS TO YOSEMITE VISITORS.


Secure stage seats in advance.

Take only hand baggage, unless for a protracted visit. For a
short trip, an outing suit and two or three waists, with a change
for evening wear, will be found sufficient. The free baggage
allowance on the stage lines is fifty pounds.

Men will find flannel or negligee shirts the most comfortable.

In April, May and June wear warm clothing and take heavy wraps.
