Death
Fray Mocho died on 23 August 1903, just 3 days short of his 45th birthday; an illness that had troubled him for years eventually causing his death. It is said that "he feared no one and nothing because he had damaged no one and had a pure heart” (as is stated in an edition of En El Mar Austral published in 1960 by The University of Buenos Aires). His last words were “I die fighting”. His magazine lived on until 1941.
