The  depot  was  a small  platform  of  planks
set  down  in  the  desert.  The  town  was  probably
three  hundred  yards  from  the  depot,  and  as
soon  as  the  cars  stopped  a crowd  of  probably
one  hundred  of  about  the  worst  looking  speci-
mens of  humanity  to  be  found  on  earth,  ran
down  to  the  railroad  and  we  were  absolutely
surrounded.
