Romero's expedition narrative: left Mission San Gabriel 15 Dec 1823 with Lt. Estudillo & 40 men via San Bernardino, hauling the cannon, guided by a San Juan Capistrano Christian Indian, through the Cajuenche nation; on the return the party got lost, the *caballada* collapsed, six days without water, reaching San Gabriel the last day of January (refers to Estudillo's fuller diary)
