the Eel Canine del Diablo." The Devils Road"
Along this route the nearly fifty miles

are two rock basins. at the foot and the other
half way up a mountain Fifty graves near by tell
victims who have persisted almost IN sight OF the
water. In times of special drouth the lower bowl
Is drained dry. and many travellers have died in

TO Captain Gaiard four hundred have died along
this trsil in the last eight years. Not far distant
one may find rude cross upon tho ground made or
whitened stones where lie the bones OF family Of
eight The glass demiJohn which contained their
last draught Of water fell and broke few miles
from the basins. The husband crawled on little
further IN search OF water. but died before he
reached the pools. Travellers found the bones OF
his family and the broken demiiohn years after

The agonies OF thirst only be described by one
who has experienced them or witnessed the suffer

Captain Gaillard also tells Of sandstorms which
