The narrator describes arriving in Deming, meeting courteous locals, and riding a buckboard stage to Palomas near the Mexican border. Sand storms, windmills, and arid cattle country frame daily life as the crew sketches a cave, shoots a rattlesnake, and endures coyotes all night with noisy howls and simple frontier humor.
