Some irrelevant person had abandoned a liqueur bottle on a spur of the mountain halfway to the summit from the sea. Some other irrelevant person, happening there in the passing years had hurled the bottle against a bowlder. Where the bottom section of it lodged unfractured amid the other fragments was a slope to southwestward covered with a clayey soil congenial to the oat. Farther up, a rounded oak spread its branches close to the ground; and farther down a green border of cascara and young laurel ran. The mountain top was hidden by an ascending brow to eastward. To westward, across the canon depths, was the long and nearly even height whose yonder terrace footed in the sea. The roundtopped hollow cone on the bottle bottom indented in order that a gallon of liquid might fill six reputed quarts lay surrounded by the jagged points of its glass walls.
