Starting back (with the nine recovered yesterday) at about two o'clock, they returned to the camp, where fresh troubles awaited them. Only two of the others had been found, and the party with the pack-horses had succeeded in losing the mule, together with his pack.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
