three came back on the schooner when
she rounded the point this morning with

been picked up by some passing steamer.
All the sixteen missing men put off from

swallowed them up and when, after
waiting three daye, 1t lifted, no trace of
the men could be seen. Sunday morning
the boat was set for Provincetown.

LOST ON THE DESERT
One Man Reaches Home-Two Proba-
bly, Dead

SAN DIEGO, May 25-J Dietrich. a
desert prospector. arrived at Banner
in this county. last night, almost insane
from having been without food for three
and half days. From the story which
he tells 1t is quite possible that two men
who were with him on the desert are
now dead. Dietrich and James Kerr
had been prospecting for over a year on
the desert. At Picapo they picked up
an old Arizona prospector named An
derson. The three arrived at Salton
on the 18th instant. From there they
struck out for the San Jacinto noun
tains. Last Thursday Dietrick went on
ahead of his companions. but they failed
to follow him He went back and found
their TRAIL which led out on the desert
toward Yuma He followed the trail
for thirty miles, and then, turning back,
made his way, almost dead. to Banner
A searching party will probably go
out from here.
