The Coconino sun., 1922-02-10

got started again it was plain this gasoline wouldn't give heat enough to keep up sufficient amount of steam. Besides, it produced dense volume of smoke that soon made us look like lot of Indians. For hours we made only three miles an hour. Then we abandoned our trailer with its bag gage, water and alleged gasoline. All four of us piled into the one seat in a heap and started. She went we'll for mile more. Then our sprocket chain parted.
 Three hours later the chain was mended. 1t was now midnight - bitter cold. Doyle reckoned there was a bunch of eedars ahead and it took us two hours to walk there. For supper we had smoke; for breakfast look at the automobile and more smoke. Eighteen miles from Pete Berry's with very little water or gasoline left. Finally we got up little steam and with one man driving the rest walked. At the end of two miles we had to abandon the machine.
 Eighteen miles isn't such long walk. But we were hungry and thirsty. At noon we sighted Skin ner's cabin, which he had built years I ago. He must have been crazy. No more call for cabin there than there is for department store. The sign said 6ss miles to Grand Canyon. The man who put that sign up there ought to be killed with dull hatchet. Lip- pincott and Chapman were petered out. Doyle and Hogaboom kept on. Lippincott since morning had raised his offer of $5 for a glass of water to $500. Chapman bid $50 for a sand wich. No takers.
 At the end of another mile Doyle collapsed completely. Hogaboom laid down on a bunch of nice soft lava and dreaming of turkey with cram berry sauce when Doyle woke nim up. Hogaboom went on, alone. He heard bear coming behind him. He drew his jackknife and cut the bears throat from the inside - then dis covered that it wasn't a bear at all, but a pine cone. After he had gone eight miles he got to thinking about that sign back at the cabin and won- dering why, if the man who put it up was going to lie about it he didn't lie in round numbers. Resolved to find l the man and kill him without mercy.
 Tongue was big mouthful. Sore because he couldn't talk, because when he got to Berry's he wanted to ask the address of the man who put up that sign.
 At 4 o'clock he had covered IS miles of the 6%. Then he saw some- thing move in the bottom of small canyon at one side. Thought it was the man who put up the sign. Started for him. Then decided it was big buck. He was paving at small patch of snow. Lippincott sat down beside the snow and ate all he could, then stuffed his pockets full. An hour later saw break in the trees. Hated trees by that time, so wobbled on. Crawled up little hill, then saw the grandest sight in the world the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
 Plumb forgot his hunger and thirst for some time. Then started again and in twenty minutes was at land lord Berry's.
 That night Mir. Berry and a four horse team brought in the other three. Next day drove to Bright Angel hotel and phoned for gasoline. The next day it came and the next day they steamed the machine to Grand View. Following day drove sixteen miles to Apex and took the train for home, all but MT. Lppincott, who seven days later made the trip from Grand View to Flagstaff in seven hours.
