Furtlier Ascents and Work at Bujongolo. 



and a piece of meat. One night the splendid animal fell into 

 this trap and was killed on the spot with two balls through 

 its skull. 



( )n the 1 i2th of Julv, the Prince was able to consider the 

 work of the expedition as ended. On the 7th, Roccati, who 

 had again returned to the Mobuku Glacier to put marks of 

 red paint on the rocks at the limit where the ice stopped, 

 and who had finished arranging all his collections, had 

 already left Bujongolo with Cavalli and with a party of 

 Bakonjo porters carrying a portion of the equipment, bound 

 for Ibanda, tlie lowest camp in the Mobuku Valley. 



One mountain alone remained unclimbed, namely, 

 Mt. Gessi, and the Duke was not in a mood to leave it 

 unattempted, all the more so as this ascent would be 

 connected with an exploration of the Bujuku Valley as yet 

 absolutely imknown and worth traversing in its whole length. 

 A party of Bakonjo had started from the point where the 

 Bujuku Valley opens into the Mobuku Valley opposite 

 Nakitawa, and had already cut a rough track as far as the 

 head of the Valley, 



The plan was now for the Duke to descend the Bujuku 

 Valley with Sella, while Cagni was to direct the transport 

 of all the portion of the equipment which was still at 

 Bujongolo down the Moi)uku Valley, and was then to meet 

 Cavalli and Hoccati at Ibanda and there wait for the Duke. 

 Thus Ibanda became the general rendezvous for the whole 

 expedition.
