I follosed the directions implicitly
forced the hollow reed into the mOis,
sand; applied the necessary suction At
the upper end Of the tube, and found in
an instant that l had half filled myself
with the gritty sand. 1t seemed to per-
wade my whole being; if sneezed, o
shower Of sand fell at my feet; the fow-
ing tears ouly left sand banks in the cor
ners of my eyes; the passing breeze
waited the sand that came out of my
ears into miniature drifts within them
it seemed to pass through my feet into
my boots, converting them into sandals
it filed my pants, making sand-bags Of
them; was experiencing the novelty of
an internal sand-bath, and had actually
transformed myself into a sand-box. If
was mortar mixer could readily sup
ply sand enough to meet the requirements
of my occupation. ! shall never look to
an arenaceous source again for water.
1t was nearly dark when we had all
crossed the river, and we took possession
Of vacant hut near its bank, lighted the
fire, cooked our supper of dried meat,
and refreshed ourselves with draughts of
hot and strong tea. The mutterings of
the thunder foretold the approach of an
other rain, and we congratulated ourselves
upon our good shelter. Soon the rain
commenced falling, and during the entire
night it fell and beat upon the palm
matched roof; but, wrapped in our blank.
cts, with reeds and palm leaves under us,
we needed not, III our sound slumber, the
storm that was raging outside.
We congratulated ourselves, when we
rose in the morning and looked down
upon the river, that we crossed it yester-
day, for the rain last night has rendered
1t once more impossible. The mules
were packed and ready to start when we
discovered that portion of the trail
which skirted the shore was covered by
the freshet, and that our only way to get
off Of the promontory on which we were
encamped was to drive the pack up a
rocky and PERCEPTIONS gulch. The first
"mula" that tried the passage fell down
when part of the way up, and his pack
fell of; the next "mula'-with her natu-
raj and feminine obstinscy both COM
biued - peremptorily refused to go the
right way, and turned down again when
on the rocky side, and the "mulatero''
loosened her pack and let her come down
the rocks without it. After an hours
work the whole train were safely on the
.s.mesa" or table land above our starting
place; but they all had to be repacked
with the luggage, causing still further
DELAY. We passed over rough road un-
til we reached the 'rancheria" of Taco
psco, belonging to Don Jesus Osorio.
Here we met kind reception from Don
Jesus, who greeted US cordially and min
istered cheerfully to our temporal wants.
We had hearty meal Of milk, tortillas
and roasted dried meat. He also put up
for the muleteer who had gone forward
with the train an ample supply of food
for at least two days rations, and gave US
q large watermelon for our own use, and
fos ali Of which he not only refused to
accept any payment, but he also rode
