When they had completed this, the
line of march was again resumed, and
as the procession passed, the ou-look-
ers involuntarily closed up slightly to
obtain nearer view Weak and ex-
hausted by this time, but astill bring
ing that terrible whip to fall
on their quivering and bleeding
backs, they repassed us at
the same slow and painful walk. We
were then very close, but it was inn
possible to use orr camera at this
range, as the Mexicans were all around
and about us So terrible had been
the punishment administered and SO
sharp and knifelilse were the whips
that the entire covering of flesh had
been torn off, leaving the bones of the
ribs exposed to full view
As soon as this party had entered the
doors of the morada, or Penitente
house of worship, another and much
larger one started on the same pill
grimage, In this second party, imme-
diately following the chantcrs, came
two men stripped and masked like the
others, but bearing on their shoulders
high crosses about fifteen feet in
length made of rough timbers twelve
inches in diameter, weighing, ! should
judge, between 300 and 400 pounds.
As this procession started, at the
same pace adopted by the first, two
men armed with whips took their places
behind the cross bearers and at every
step applied vicious blows upon the
