Dear Str.—On Feb. 27th, 1892, W. McBride, P. Coleman and my self started from Sonoita, Sonora, Mex., on a prospecting trip into the Yuma desert, March 1st, we left a place called Argua Dulce, situated on the old wagon road from Altar, Sonora, to Yuma, about 4 o'clock p.m. Next morning about 9 a.m. we arrived at an old dam, 26 miles westerly of Argua Dulce, expecting to find plenty of water there, according to what people acquainted with the road had told us—but were disap pointed. After hunting in vain for water for several hours we pushed ahead on the road and found water, suf ficient for our purpose, in several mud puddles two miles from El Represo and we camped there for the night. Next morning, March 3d, P. Coleman and myself started for a range of mountains about five miles north of our camp to pros pect for mineral, leaving McBride in charge of the camp. It rained heavily all that day, with short intermissions of clear weather, and when we returned to camp, the heaviest shower yet fell, surrounding us with a lake of water. . As this was getting most serious we each took some provisions on our back end made our way to higher ground, leaving everything, our two burros included, behind. Next morning, March 4th, we all started back to the camp, tried to extract our animals from the mud ,but soon found this task impossible to accomplish. On the morning of March 4th, we met with better success and managed to drag out one of our animals on to a safe place. During the rest of this day, McBride made up his mind to leave us and go afoot to the near est point on the 8. PR. R., Adon de, it being 75 miles distant and water in two places; La Tenaja del Tule and La Tenaja Altar. Accordingly he struck out Sun day morning, March 6th, and that is the last we have seen of him. We did not succeed in getting our animals on to dry ground until about noon, March 9th. That evening at 7:15 o'clock .. . (I had a watch with me and ac cording to an old habit of mine have kept record of our proceed ings from day to day.) we started for la Tenaja del Tule. The fol lowing morning about 10 a. m. I found a note from McBride, in serted into a sapling stuck in the middle of the road, containing the following: “W. Me—Sand-wash. I found no watter and have been 1 or 2 miles ahead, but am going through iff my ass hold out, but the watter may be farther on and I hope it is. ‘W. Me.” [I follow the spening of the original in this as well as the fol lowing note. c.8.] About 6 miles further on my partner, P. Coleman, found the tank we had been looking for— Idry, and a second note at the foot of an Ironwood tree, written by a very shaky hand: “There is some grub in that tree and a gun coat. No watter in country. W. Me.” P. Coleman found all the bread McBride had taken along rolled up in the gum coat and at the foot of the tree some dried beef. My partner came back nearly crazy and choking for water.I had gone to hunt him after hav ing looked for and found some water, so salty that it increased our agonies laid down and begged for some water. We had gone far enough, we could not save Me, if he had not pulled through and we returned to Sonoita today, luckily in time to catch the mail carrier to Altar. ‘The object of this letter 12 to notify the proper authorities, #51 believe McBride has relatives in the United States. I am com pelled to look now for work and do not known where my next stop ping place will be, but should in quiries (which ought to be made without loss of time) elicit the fact that McBride has not arrived, neither at Adonde or Ia Bibora, his relatives ought to be put in pos seseion of the facts and should any communication with me be con sent necessary, a letter will reach me quickest by addressing me in care of Chas. Besse, Phoe jpix, Aziz. As McBride had about $15 to $20 on his person when he left us perhaps some Mexican or Indian may be induced to go out on the road as far as Tenaja del Tule, and discover the body, thereby sectting all doubts at rest. Most respectfully yours, C. Senacusan. Specimen Cases. S. H.
