In Famous Death Valley.
He and his companion were in the
famous Death Valley ON one of their
degrees. One might while passing
through the valley which has claimed
hundreds Of victims, the temp erture

80 miles away. They came to a dry
lake, stopped and wondered how they
could get across. The town appeared
directly in front of them After they

Ilzed thew were victims of an optical
illusion. Skulls and bones are scat

Nee.
HIS Death Valley experiences taught
the most travelled man in the world

of the trips. Westguard died soon
after the trip as the result of his
narrowing adventures in the Valley
ON the last trip, the Wayfarer 3rd
and Its crew of two, was two days get
ting II miles. On one trip Is tele-
phone poles were hacked down in
order to make a bridge over a gully
caused by a mid-western cloudburst
They missed the Pueblo flood by
three hours; they were in several sand
storms; in villages of lower Canada
where a motor car had never been
seen before; they drove across a
bridge that threatened to precipitate
them and the car into the mad swirl
ing waters of a northwestern storm:
many times their car turned over and
they narrowly missed death. These
are a few of the thrills Mr.. Nee and
Mrs. Lewiston have had on their trans
continental trips.
