The canyon had narrowed to just the width of the rushing stream.
Synopsis:
Renegade Pueblo Indians, riding horses they probably stole, rustled Po-ko's sheep and kidnaped her. Now they're holed up in three mud and stick wickiup huts. Little Beaver has them boxed in, but what of Po-ko? Dodging Pueblo arrows, he plunged underwater, swimming toward the wickiups. A cave leads to old conquistador armor he dons, proof against arrows! The Pueblo scatter, Po-ko saved, along with sheep and horses.

Du Bois identifiers:
• Animals: "...a grassy bottom. There were Po-ko's missing sheep! Not far away grazed a bunch of horses---probably stolen, too."
Not only the animals' existence, he also reminds us they must eat and drink. There is grass and water. Animals are fully realized characters.
• Nature: "canyon"; "rushing stream"; "current"; "rock wall"; "mile-long valley"; "bushes"; "a grassy bottom"; "nest of rocks downstream"; "sunset"; "the rocks"; "the water"; "upstream"; "the moon"; "the hidden valley"; "the stones of the creek bottom"; "the cliffs"; "the shadow of the cliff"; "a black opening at the top of the rubble under the cliff"; "the cave"; "the cave's smooth floor an inch deep in dust."
This story is largely told through description of the terrain. It is a nature story insofar as Little Beaver fully utilizes the natural environment in pursuing his goal of saving Po-ko.
• Peoples of the world: "Navajo"; "Pueblo renegades"; "Spanish Conquistador"
