On the spur of the moment I dismounted and perpetuated the auspicious scene by means of a kodak which I carried fastened to the pommel of my saddle.

I wish it had been possible for me to send her that picture as a token of my gratitude for her cheery greeting.

She surely would have appreciated it, as all Mexicans delight in seeing their photographs.

To reach the Sierra Madre from the Bavispe River by way of Nacori, two--or, as the Mexicans consider it, three--sierras have to be crossed, all running, generally speaking, in a northwesterly to southeasterly direction.

The first two ranges are quite easy to climb.
