_42nd day and 1 [November]._ Today we set out from this oasis and after about two leagues we found the source of the stream. It is a marsh well covered with grass. The open area may be entered by a valley filled with oak trees. At the end of it one sees a lake which, however, is pure salt water. To the east is located a moderate-sized village, the Indians of which seemed to us altogether too cunning and crafty in trading. Guided by three Indians from this village we came to another of the same size but hidden among ravines and badlands. The number of inhabitants could not be determined because they were absent at a fiesta in another village near by. From here we set out in an easterly direction and late in the afternoon, at sunset, we reached a plain extending toward a valley which contained a small stream. The latter carried a little water, which was quite salty due to the great salinity of the land. _43rd day and last of the expedition._ On this day, by following the valley, we reached the ranch of the Reverend Fathers of Mission San Fernando. The roughness of the mountains we went through this day is indescribable, but it pleased God that in the early evening we should see a light and by going toward it came upon the ranch. From here the following day we came to the mission.[42] All that has been stated in this report represents exactly what I have seen myself. Together with a few others baptized on the expedition made at the end of April of this year 1806 we baptized on this expedition 141 persons. These were all baptized _in extremis_. In witness hereof I signed on 2 November 1806. Fray Pedro Muñoz _Villages_ Number of villages scouted on this expedition and Christians made, together with those made on the expedition carried out in the last part of April of this year, 1806. The number of persons is given. Nupchenche This village has about 250 souls. Twenty-eight Christians were made, 5 old men and 23 old women. 28 Chineguis Has the same number of people as the previous one. A single old woman was baptized. 1 Yunate According to a good calculation this village has the same number of persons as those preceding. One old man was baptized. 1 Chamuasi Has the same number of persons as those mentioned above. No one was baptized because everyone hid himself at our arrival. Latelate This village will have about 200 people. I baptized six old women. 6
