Lunch at midday in Death Valley was none too enjoyable, for the plates, cups, and utensils became so hot in the temperature of 130° that it was not pleasant to handle them Thru Death Valley with von Stroheirrt (Continued from page 21) 92 hundreds of emigrants who have perished here from thirst. We were led by an eighty-year-old Indian guide — eighty years young, I should say, for that fellow is still good for many more miles. He saved our lives several times. "He told us of the first party of emigrants who tried to cross the Valley. " 'I was only a lad,' he explained, 'and they were the first white men I had ever seen. I was so terrified by the sight of them that I hid behind a rock until they had passed, then ran as fast as I could in the opposite direction. They were only a quarter of a mile from good, fresh water, and I could have saved the whole party by a word of direction. But they died, every one of them.' "It was days before we reached the floor of the Valley and visited the Poison Well," continued Mr. von Stroheim. "Almost all the desert springs are poisoned and it is safe to drink from none except those marked by the Government. The Indians have secret signs on the rock to mark the trail to the pure springs. All around are graves and the bleached skeletons of men who have gone mad from thirst and drunk of the poison water, only to die immediately. I washed an undershirt in one of the springs, soaped it, and put it on a rock to dry. An hour later there was not a thread of it left; the arsenic had eaten it completely. "We also visited Lost Wagon, where the shifting sands have not completely buried the wagons of an ill-fated group of travelers. "During the filming of this picture we crossed Death Valley eleven times, with the thermometer constantly registering from WARDING RO/ NOT ADVISABLE BEYOND W1L0R0SE FOR AUTOMQBILE TRAVEL TO DEATH VALLEY AND BEATTY NOT SIGN POSTED BV AUTO CLUB Eric von Stroheim's party had to snap their fingers at this warning when they headed for Death Valley 120° to 135°, and all of us suffering the tortures of the damned. No man could carry water enough to last more than two miles. In order to live, one must drink constantly, day and night, from six to eight gallons in twenty-four hours, or be dried to parchment by the heat. "One day we almost touched fingers with death, purely from lack of water. It was at our last camp on the edge of the 'Sink,' the lowest spot on earth, three hundred, thirty-seven feet below sea level. The pressure is something terrific and the breeze is like a blast from a furnace. We had traveled on burros all night to reach it, but the trucks with our supplies and our water had got stuck between the spring and our camp. There we were, stifling for water, and one hour of thirst is worse than twenty-four hours of any other kind of torture. "As a last resort, I sent our eighty-yearold Indian runner to Ryan, twenty miles distant, one of the mines of the Twenty Mule Team Borax Company. They wired for an aeroplane to drop a cast-iron tank of water at our camp. The physician of the party gave it out, one-half of a cup at a time, with an armed man on either side of him to beat back the crazed members of our party. "It was at the Sink we staged the famous fight between McTeague and his partner. No camouflage was needed to make that scene. The suffering of the men was intense. The air was stifling, and the sun beat down unmercifully. At one time I feared for the lives of the actors ; I thought they were really dying. "Following this we came out at Ryan, thence to Valley Junction, then Barstow and home.'' Every advertisement in MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE is guaranteed. :
