Lest it be lost in the minutiae of solving this difficulty I thank you
for all your help.

When I try to verify the flash drives I see this:
# e2fsck /dev/da1
e2fsck 1.43.4 (31-Jan-2017)
ext2fs_open2: Bad magic number in super-block
e2fsck: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/da1
. . .
So I redid the command using the partition values instead:
# e2fsck /dev/da0s1
e2fsck 1.43.4 (31-Jan-2017)
CA_HLL_2016_BKUP has gone 267 days without being checked, check forced.
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information
Error writing file system info: Invalid argument
CA_HLL_2016_BKUP: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
However, the device remains unmountable in Mate.
This issue is not critical as I am able to manually mount both devices
and have successfully moved their contents onto new media. But I do
find it annoying that Mate, or whatever process caused the initial
problem, was able to create the problem and yet there is no
self-evident way of correcting whatever injury was done to the
filesystems.
