This was perfectly satisfac- i tory to Grindell, as it meant one mouth | less to carry water and food for. They
 parted with the best of feeling, the Pa pagO having done everything he had
 agreed to.
 l The party filled four five gallon oil
 cans with water at Coyote Springs and l then left there for the Gulf of Cali 1 fOrnia, somewhat north of Tiburon is l land, where they made a dry camp
 Next day they struck down the coast
 until they ran into a great salt swamp | that night they made another dry camp and during the night their stock | Strayed away hunting for water. The Indian and Grindell struck back after the stock and after a few hours | Grindell came back to camp and got q | burro and started for Coyote Springs for water for the party. He returned with the water and the party continu- ed down the coast until opposite IT. buron Island.
 Grindell, Doe Rawls and Ingham Cnot

 The party becoming in bad shape
 Doc Rawls took two of the best burros and started out to hunt this ranch

 lngham lost his mind and tried to Kill Hoffman, and finally got so he could not march. After staying with him in their last camp a day Hoffman left him; he probably died shortly after.
 Hoffman in his wanderings came on Doc Rawls' camp, which he had made on his trip hunting for San Antimas ranch; he had fried a little bacon and mixed some flour in it for the moisture to be had, and the best burro he had | was dead at this camp. Hoffman thinks | without doubt Doc Rawls perfshed | rom thirst. Hoffman wandered on | town the coast, chewing cactus for wa ! -er and shooting peIicans and a rabbit | now and then, and eating snaiIs. any hing to get along suffering great hard 'hlp. Finally he fell in with some Mex can fishermen who treated him kind y and took care of him. He has Doe tawls' notes with him. GrindeITs pa 'ers are in bag where Ingham was eft to die. i
 Hohman's body is badly scared from lls experiences and evidently his mind little affected from his sufferings 1e says the only way to go where the 'arty is is up the coast in a boat. and e will go with the outfit and guide hem to the bodies. He told us thai II of the party got so weak that they ouId not put 2 pack on a burro I. | Doks like this was a case of lot of going out on a desert and
