insufficient luuulholds, and skirting round rocky gendarmes on 

 their smooth, steep sides, they reached the real summit about 

 six in the evening. 



The mist had entirely (h'sappeared, hut nightfall was very 

 neai'. Commander Cagni had scarcely time to take observations 

 of all the peaks witli the compass. They came dow n in tlie 

 dark. 



On the following morning by sunrise, the weather being 

 perfectly clear, Cagni was once more on the summit, and was 

 able to take measurements of all the angles with the theodolite 

 and with the compass. They set up a stone man, and by eight 

 o'clock they were preparing to return wlien the first mists began 

 to rise. They came back by the same wav. along the spur to 

 the north of the peak and then down into the little valley 

 to the west of it, which they now descended to tlie point 

 where it opens into the Mobuku Valley. Here the mist, whicli 

 had become dense, Avas added to all the otlier flifficulties of 

 crossing the tangled forest, which was verv similar to the one 

 above Kichuchu. They reached Bujongolo the same evening. 



Sella was there alone, waiting for Cagni's Alpine tent to set 

 forth u])on a new photographic expedition. The Duke had 

 gone up to Camp I upon Mt. Baker that very day. Fioni 

 this point on the following day, July lOtli. tlnough a gullv to 

 the east and then along the south ridge, he reached the 

 \Volla.ston Peak, 15,286 feet, which had not as yet been 

 ascended by any member of the expedition. The rocks were 

 covered with ice. The weather was clear, and he was able 

 to take observations for two whole hours. Next, following 

 the high ridge, he traversed to the Moore Peak, whence he 

 came down along the ridge which hail aln-ady liecn clinihrd 

 bv Vittorio Sella, to the Grauer Col, and so back to Bujongokj.
