Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Link, April 1957: Tachikawa Crisis, Warclubs on the Dunes, "and Then the Light" (An Easter Story), North Church Steeple, Whom Should You Correspond With? Jaeger tapped the horse´s flanks with his spurs. The animal hurried to the top of the dune, its feet spraying the loose, gritty sand. The great sides of the sorrel worked as its rider turned in the saddle to look behind at the string of mules. The great rounded packs on their backs gave them the appearance of strange hybrids. "Carlos," Jaeger called to the man leading the mules, "we make camp here." He faced forward again, his eyes sweeping the sandy waste. Forty miles to the river, he thought. It might as well be four thousand for all the indication the desert dunes gave of the nearness of water. Sand, nothing but sand. Small, whirling, swirling ghosts of sand were tossed into the air by darting whistles of wind. Hills of sand guarded valleys in between, with only an occasional finger of growth to puncture the smoothness. But no, there was something else! Jaeger turned again. Carlos had dismounted and was preparing to relieve the beasts of their burdens. "Carlos, wait. Someone comes." The Mexican started toward his horse at the words, his legs beating their way through the grasping sand. Carlos stopped, turned quickly. "But Señor, the Indians!" "It will take them a while to get here. I doubt that they are Indians. There are only three and they travel abreast, not single file. Also, they wear the blue coats of soldiers." The two men sat their horses atop the dune and watched as the three soldiers drew near. Jaeger´s brow was frown-creased, and Carlos was mumbling words to himself. Jaeger felt Carlos had good reason for prayer. The soldiers were running their horses. Men with knowledge of the desert ran horses in the bottomless sand for only two reasons: to escape danger or to go to the relief of someone in danger.
