ASSOCIATED PressI

BERKELEY, June 21.-Almost in a
state of nervous collapse, and hardly
able to tell the story of his terrible
experience, G. Herbert Masters, the
young mining engineer who was a
member of the expedition to Borax
lake, in which Charles S. Davidson, an
alumnus Of the University of Cali
fornia mining college, lost his life in
the intense heat last Friday, returned
to his home in this city today.
He left the five others Of the party
at Randsburg after the burial of
Davidson in a rude grave out on the
desert where he met his death. All OF
the others suffered terribly, but man
aged to make camp after twenty-four
hours of torture in the broiling sun.
1--WE arrived at Randsburg last
Thursday and started on our trip
across Borax lake Friday" said Mas
ters. "The lake is a mud deposit COW
cred by a heavy crust. Our objective
point was an old camp on the opposite
shore where we thought we would find
some prospectors. When we began
drawing our line, Davidson was pros
trated with the heat. A little later he
collapsed. Then he broke away from
us and, running about fifty feet, fell
on his face. One of the boys went to
him. He died shortly afterward.
zone by one we followed a course to-
ward the opposite shore. When 1 ar
rived I found there was no water. At
ter several hours we found an old well,
but the water was sulphurous and
salty, and at the bottom was a dead
rattlesnake. We quenched our thirst
as best we could and welcomed night
fall.
1.-TWO of the original party of seven
had gone to Randsburg for batteries
when we started the trip across the
lake. and that left four of us huddled
together. There were Thomas Graves,
a mining expert of Olean, n. Y; Dav-
id Bunkers, Norman Stein and myself
"In the morning before sunrise we
took a roundabout trail skirting the
lake. When half way to, Randsburg
we met an automobile party and were
carried the rest of the way in the ma
chine. That afternoon we went out to
that seething mud lake once more and
got the body of Davidson. The boys
made a rough pine box and we gave
George the most decent burial possible
The ritual wasn't much, but it was the
best we knew. His grave is out there
under that sun, pretty close to where
he died.
'rhe others of the party are pretty
badly used up, but they will be all
right. 1t was a terrible experience, and
l am through with the desert"
