, climb the water, that had been car Tried in one canteen, was completely
 exhausted and all were sorely in need of water. The sun beamed down terrifically and as the day wore on the situation became truly
 alarming. A small spring was en-
 countered at last and the crowd was
 greatly refreshed, although many
 were completely worn out with the
 long walk and need of water. Sev-
 eral of the crowd became lost after
 darkness set in and it was not until
 several hours that they were found,
 in fact, the one who ventured to
 the river. Mr. Miller, did not get
 back to camp on the rim until some
 time after the others. As MT. Miller
 had not been seen for several
 hours, it was concluded that he had
 either fallen a victim of the heat
 and a lack of water or that he had
 slipped over precipice. The men
 who had brought the water from above hurried on in search of him,
 leaving the remainder of the walk
 CTS to continue their climb to the
 rise. When Miller was found he
 was still continuing his climb tow ard the rim. but his progress had
 been exceedingly slow because of fatigue and lack of water.
 Among those making the canyon trip from the valley were Messrs
 Stanley Hibbs, Horace Steel the
 Misses Carrie Green, Beulah E. Johnson, Dorothy Edson and Ella McNary of Phoenix.
