II DESERT ENIGMA
Mystery of a Vanished Party of
Australian Explorers.
LEFT NOT A TRACE BEHIND.
The Lcichha'dt Expedition Disappear
?d a* Though It Had Baan Swallowed
Up by tha Earth, Which May Indsad
Hava Been Itk Fearful Fata.
There hiive been recorded many
strange tragedies of exploration In lone
and distant lands, but no one event of
the kind has ever so stim-d men's minds
as did the total disappearance of the I
welt found and splendidly equipped ex
pedition which Dr. Ludwlg l>eich
hardt. the Franklin of Australia, led
Into the ceutral deserts of Australia In
1S4JS.
Lelchhardt's design was to march
right hitow the continent from the east
const to tbe west, and as- he had al
ready led a successful expedition near
ly 3.0U0 miles through a previously un
known t?rt of Australia, It was jrerer ,
ally thought that he wruld be able to i
accomplish the task.
Still, there were some who doubted
aud prophesied disaster, and more than
one wealthy frleud of the doctor's re
fused to subscribe townrd the expedl
tlon ou the ground that they were not '
going to help him to commit suicide
Tbe members of tbe expedition num
bered six whites and two blacks, an
unusually large number for an explor
Irg expedition of this nature. and he
sides being sruply provided with flour,
biscuit, tea. Migsr and so on. they drove
along with them fifty bullocks and 270
goats They also had spare horses and
mules in abundance
At that time the most westerly sta
tion In southern (Jueeensland was oc
cupied by a squatter named McPber
son. who dwelt on Cogoon cn>ek. From
there I.elrhh:trdt wrote a brief letter as
he was about to start into tb<- uaknowa
land beyond
That was i he last ever bei rd of him
or of any of hi" compuuloin. and this
notwithstanding the fuct that expedi
tion after expedition was afterward
sent out In search of them
As completely as though I bey bad
been swallowed up by the earth, they
vanished.
This Is the most puzzling part of the
mystery? its completeness flad they
been killed, by tbe natives, aa van at
first wrongly reported, some relics of
the explorers would long since have
been recovered from them. In some
sba|>e the Iron work of the Implements
and arms they had with them would
have survived.
And what of tbe stock? Some of the
goats, at all events, must "have been
left alive, one would have Imagined,
for these are notoriously hardy ani
mals. able to pick up a living a: most
anywhere Vet none of these, nor any
of the horses, mules or bullocks went ,
ever traced.
The probability Is that the III fnteil
expedition struck one of tht>se water
less patches of country common In '
Darts of Australia. Into which the
blacks never venture. It la not difficult
In this case to prophesy what would
have been their fate.
Their reserve barrels once emptied of
their precious contents, the little water
carried by the men In their canteens
would not last more than a day or so
In the shadeless bush. In that terrific
beat death comes swiftly under snch
circumstances About forty-eight boars
Is the limit of human endurance
Usually balf that time suffices.
The explorers, we may be sure, world
struggle on to the list however, hus
banding their water to the uttermost
drop. The animals would be the first to
go. and the desperate expedient of
drinking their blood wonkl be resort
ed to.
Hotter and hotter grows the air as
the doomed men stagger further a. id
further Into the rainless dewert
So lie lose their reason; all lose hope
Then comes the end. They separate
ftnd struggle away In ones and twos,
and fall and die.
Day after day the terrible and pltllesa
sun looks down upon them tying there
and sees them dry and shrivel Into
mummies
And still no' rain falls.
But one day. It may be years after
ward. there arises a sandstorm of ex
ceptional violence The wind blows
wltb all the strength and fury of an
?rrtle blizzard, but driving before It
sand, not snow.
When It ceases the desert Is there as
before; the same, yet different Moun
tains of sMnd exist where before were
valleys.
Tbe mummies have vanished from
human ken forever.? Pearson's Weekly.
