Shadows of clouds i ami cliffs, reflected in the i water, have often been mistaken for monstrous :i serjH"iusv wmic inu legends of the Klamath Indians people the dark cavern of the lake with Ldiaos, or spirits jVeeording to the favorite legend of this Indian trilx : lany, many mofns ago, long before the paleface appeared to disturb the peace of the proud; natives; of the forest, when the deer "were plentiful and th brooks teemed with fish,, a band of brave Klamaths, while on a hunting espelition,-came suddenly tipon' a huire cavern in .the moUntainlop. The braves were struck dumb by its remarkable walls and majestic pro portions. With spirits subdued and quaking: withnfear they stealthily crept up to its edge and gazed into its fathomless depths. They con ceived it to be a lake, the awful stillness of which was appalling, something within told them the Great Spirit dwelt there, and they dared not remain. Bowed :with reverence, they crept down the mountain and camped far away. : iBy some mysterious and unac countable influence, one " young brave, was induced to return. In the dead of night, he climbetl up the moonlit mountain to the very brink of the precipice and started his camp fie. Here he lay down to commune ilrith the Great Spirit, Sleep closed his eyes. Soon strange voiees arose, from the vaters, wiertl sounds filled - the air. - When he awoke, thersun was high in the heavens. - He arose .and joinod his tribe far down the mountain. A nisht, he came agam: an irreststi ble power seemed to call him back. A era in. he slept till morn ; each visit seemed to increase the charm, The voices were soothing to his spirit. After many moons spent on' the cliffs, he climbed down to the lakei and bathed his- limbs in its waters Frequently he saw mysterious be ings elide to the surface; they re sembled his brethren except they lived in the water. Again and again, he returned to. spend the night and Lathe in the lase Mid denly: '.. be became 4 hardier and stronger than his brethren. 1 he mysterious, waters gave him power far greater than that possessed by any other member of his tribe; Others followed lum and sought the influence of the magic water Old warriors sent their sons to visit this region and receive strength to cone with their neighboring tribes Their superstition and dread of the spirits at hrst only allowed them sleep on the cliffs above: in tim they ventured to the water s edge at last they plunged intoithe blu waters medicated bv theXlaos and the coveted strength was4 heirs.
