'' `` Thank you , '' said Henry . The Indians left in a northerly direction . At guard-mounting Captain Bayard announced that , owing to the recent fatiguing marches and the lack of good water , we would go no farther than Navajo Springs the following day , and that we would not break camp before eight o'clock . This announcement was received with pleasure ; for since leaving Agua Fria little water had been drunk , it being either muddy , stagnant , or alkaline . The water at Navajo Springs was said to be pure . Ten o'clock next morning found us at the springs .
