Small sailboat used for recreation or racing.
1Shefford dismounted and led Nack-yal and turned aside many a rolling rock.
2Indeed, Shefford had reason to feel ashamed of Nack-yal's temper or jealousy.
3Nack-yal appeared disposed to be satisfied, and gave Shefford no trouble in mounting.
4The burros and other mustangs were drinking, and Nack-yal followed suit.
5Nack-yal leaped easily over the log and went on ahead, dragging his bridle.
6And he guessed that was just what Nack-yal intended to do.
7Nack-yal sank deep as he took short and careful steps down.
8Presently Shefford noticed that Nack-yal had returned to camp and was acting strangely.
9Folks that wad put doon good yal ought to be theirselves putten doon.
10Suddenly with a pound of hoofs Nack-yal seemed to rise.
11Nas Ta Bega came to Shefford's assistance and put a rope over Nack-yal's head.
12Fay, however, checked Nack-yal at the rim of the descent and turned to look behind.
13I bought Nack-yal from this Indian three years ago.
14Then she rode Nack-yal down into the gorge.
15Fay was persuaded to mount Nack-yal again.
16Shefford loosened the saddle-girths on Nack-yal and, leaving him to graze, went toward the hogan of Hosteen Doetin.
