Show KINO'S THIRD CABORCA ENTRADA, 1694. 537 ing also made a side trip through places called Quesoll and Vacpia, Kino went no further; Mange passed a Rancheria de Unnicat, visited the coast, and named a small port Santa Sabina; both returned to Dolores April 4. For a third time Kino made the Caborca trip to attend to his futile boat- building. Mange left him at Tubutama June 8, 1694, and went up the river past rancherias of Gutubur, Saric, Tucubavia, and Gubo to a rancheria named Cups, so called from a smoking rocky cave in the vicinity, 23 leagues beyond Tucubavia, whence he brought word of Cases Grandes when he joined Kino at Caborca on the nth. 4 Kino's return from this tour, to his Dolores mission, is not noted. But he was soon there, probably by the end of June. In October, 1694, Father F. X. Saeta arrived at Dolores, and Kino took him to the mission of Caborca, where he was murdered April 2, 1695. 4 As this is an important matter, I give the passage from Mange himself, whom I am collating with Ortega along here. Mange says, p. 253, that when he was at Cups he registered some Indians, etc., who " tambien noticiaron que como cinco dias de camino, hacia el Nordeste, al m& rgen de un rio grande [ 1. *., Rio Gila] que corre de Oriente al Poniente, habia muchos indios caribes y unas casas grandes, gruesas y muy altas"- so far as I know the very first intimation the Spaniards had of these remarkable structures. |
