enc companion on a prospective trip.
Three weeks later his companion stag

camp on the brink OF Death Valley.
The prospector was deiirious and could
rot talk nationally for hours. When
he had partially recovered he told the
story of the trip.
The two men had been lost for days
in the Arnargosa fthe Desert of Bit
ternessl, which IL much larger and
fully as dangerous as Death Valley.
With their water supply almost gone.
Eldredge proposed that they match
coins to see who should take the little
remaining water and try to find help.
Eldredge lost. His companion tried
to retract the agreement. but Eldredge
insisted. and the prospector started
away across the desert. -Four days
were consumed two Of them absolutely
