t  on  the  24th 
and  at  daylight  on  the  morning  of  the  25th  they 
reached  the  Mexican  camp  that  was  at  the  ferry 
when  the  Indians’  attack  commenced,  having 
been  without  food  since  noon  of  the  23d.  From 
the  Mexicans  the  party  learned  the  fate  of  the 
rest  of  their  companions.

Glanton  and  Dr.  A.  L.  Lincoln  were  asleep, 
each  in  one  of  the  houses.  A Mexican  woman 
saw  the  chief  of  the  Yumas  enter  the  house  in 
which  the  doctor  lay  and  hit  him  on  the  head 
with  a stone,  whereupon  he  rose  to  his  feet,  but 
was  immediately  killed  with  a club.  Another 
woman  related  the  death  of  Glanton  in  the 
same  manner.  The  others  who  remained  in  the 
house  were  killed,  the  manner  not  known;  but 
none  of  them  had  an  opportunity  of  killing  any 
of  the  Indians.  The  party  also  learned  from  the 
Mexicans  that  the  six  who  crossed  the  river  for 
the  Sonorians,  were  also  killed  by  the  Yumas. 
The  bodies  of  five  of  them  were  brought  over 
to  the  Mexican  side  and  burned,  as  were  also 
the  bodies  of  Dr.  Lincoln,  Glanton  and  the  other 
five  murdered  at  the  houses.  Dr.  Lincoln’s  dog 
and  two  other  dogs  were  tied  to  his  body,  and 
that  of  Glanton,  and  burned  alive  with  them. 
A large  quantity  of  meat  was  thrown  into  the 
fire  at  the  same  time.  The  houses  were  burned 
down,  and  the  bodies  of  the  other  three  Ameri- 
cans, named  John  A.  Johnson,  Wm.  Pewit  and 
John  Dorsey  consumed  with  them.
