I saw him a fortnight afterward, smoking a cigarette and on the way to recovery, and after some days he, too, walked to Cusihuiriachic.

A few months later the robbers managed to dig themselves out of the prison.
On an excursion of about ten miles through the picturesque Arroyo de las Iglesias, I passed seventeen caves, of which only one was at present inhabited.

All of them, however, had been utilised as dwellings before the construction of the road to Batopilas had driven the Indians off.
I saw also a few ancient cave-dwellings.

Of considerable interest were some burial-caves near Nararachic, especially one called Narajerachic (= where the dead are dancing).

A Mexican had been for six years engaged there in digging out saltpetre, with which he made powder, and the cave was much spoiled for research when I visited it.
