The finding of the body of Al Williams, near Darwin, as told of in the independent last week, solves another o the mysteries of the desert. 'And on account of the diary kept by Williams it tells the story of the Bufferings of that death as nothing else could. It tells of a struggle, against death, lasting for 26 days a death that can hardly be realized. Every year men go to their death in this great waste, but seldom does a man ever live as long and keep as accurate ac count of everything as Williams did. At the place where he was found was evidence of the game fight he found water. Ho probably dug for this water on May 19th. From that time on he laid at this place and made as remarkable a battle for life as a man. ever could make. Sick and unable to leave the spot, h'e probably waited day by day praying that some ono might find him and save his life. It seems that right from the beginning he had very little hopes that he would ever ie rescued. But as he lost strength and the nats tormented him, lie never seemed to ever lose his nerve. finally, too weak to write and almost blind, for the last three days he merely made his cross In the diary to show that he was still alive. And by this small water hole, which had dried up, his re mains were found. Al Williams left Cobo Springs on the 18th of last May to go to Domingo Etcharren's ranch at Junc tion flats, about 16 miles southeast of Darwin. Practically nothing waa "heard from him from that time until hi body was found on August 3rd Eight days after his disappear ance Domingo and an Indian set out to find Williams' trail, going through the Malapai hills Into a deep canyon, where they found a bridle and blanket on a high boulder where Williams had placed them. They followed this - trail about three-quarters of a mile fur ther and for some reason aban doned It and returned home. On July 1 G. C. Barry of Little Lake saw Domingo at Olancha and found out from him where the trail had been abandoned. On August 2, accompanied by Henry Romain and Jim Sherlock, he left Olancha with a pack outfit, intending to find Williams' remains, if possible. Early on the morning of the 3rd of August the party arrived at A B. Sharpe's camp, about four miles. from where Domingo found the sad die and bridle. Sharpe joined the party there, and leaving the pack outfit at his camp" the, four passed up the canyon and found the trail. They found the monument that Do mingo had built at the point he found Williams' things. They left this place at 8 o'clock In the morn ing and a 11 o'clock came to where this canyon boxed up. At the bottom was a precipice about 50 feet high, and here they found the remains of the unfortunate man. In his pocket they found the diary which we print in this article. Also a letter from his sister, who lives at Altoona, 111., and a few other little things. After finding the body they first decided to come out and notify the coroner, but later decided that such a course would be nonsense, and made arrangements to bury the re mains. The entire party went back to Sharpe s camp and the following day Sharpe took another man with him and went back. They burled the body on a high bench about 50 feet from where it was found. short account was written of hi iieain una tnis was placed ia a can ana pui into a monument that was built over the grave. So ended the life of another man who has braved the terrors of the lesert in the search for gold. II was a type of the men who has made the western desert as muc ;f a producer to the wealth of the world as it has leeri. Each year reaps its death toll from this part of the country and probably always will. Hut too much care cannot ie ex"r-isod In trying to , find the men when they are lost. They may only live for a day, but they may live for weeks. This occur rence, as sad as It Is. should be ft lehsoa to the many men who yearly prospect on tne aewrt, to leave no stone unturned to find the poor inrt who fate decrees shall pay this toll in lives that it seems the des ert demands. Following is a copy of the diary found in Williams' pocket: Thursday, May 18. Lert Coso Springs. Wednesday, May 24 Nothing to eat since Thursday. Friday, May 26 Weak and sick, can't walk 50 feet.

' Friday, June 9 Don't believe I can get another canteen or water. Sick and dizzy; can't see much. Think it will be all off soon. In the hack ot the diary, dated June 9, 1911, Williams had writ ten the following: "Have stood It 23 days without anything to eat. If I am able to get one more can teen of water I am satisfied It will be the last one. This is surely hell on earth. Am so sick and dizzy I ran scarcely see this and the nats are eating me up."
