“draw the cords deep into my flesh. Not content with placing me in this extremely painful position, those red devils placed a heavy stone on my back, pressing my face and nose into the sand, and there I was compelled to stay all night long, with no covering except that large rock on my back. I suffered all of the agonies of death, but when I would groan one of the Indians would jump up and pull my hair and ears, and beat me. How I lived through that awful night I do not know. About daybreak next morning Pinero”
