Leavine our disconsolate friends to their solitude, we retrac 
our steps with supplies to the foot of Stean’s Peak, whe 
we found our party encamped, and the survey0 
at work along the pass. This pass thro 
the Peloncello Range, however, proving unfit for a railr 
we did not remain to complete its survey, but started 
morning for the Chiricahui Range. The Puerto del D 
or Apache Pass, was known without doubt to be impré 
ticable ; but about twenty miles north of it lay a depressi 
in the mountains, with so gradual an ascent and descent th 
it received the name of Railroad Pass from its discov: 
Lieutenant Parkes. : 
So after a few hours’ photographing in Stean’s Pass, ta kit 
a special view of “El Pecacho de Santa Lola,” a lof 
peak christened by us in honour of the young lady we h 
escorted to Fort Bowie—who, by-the-bye, had to cross # 
fatal ground the day after the catastrophe just related, 
her way to Tucson—I proceeded with the rest towards B 
Noy. 6.
