Bartering for food and Indian liandiwork duriiij; a visit to Chief .Jori-niiah antl liis 

 Arwiina tribe on tlie lower slopes of Horaima 



veiled Roraima, still several dtiys journey away. At a place called Tarinak, 

 formerly the site of a flourishiiifi vilhii^e of Indians, a giiide was found who 

 knew a shorter way to the j^oal, which led tf> the southward of the great 

 terraced mountain of Weitipu instead of to the nortii as in the case of the 

 route known to the geographers of Georgetown. So with renewed courage 

 we disregartled the low condition of supplies and again i)ushed on toward 

 Roraima.
