any one of these hornlike, rocky piles: their heights have 
been variously estimated at from six to ten thousand feet. 
The probable heights seem to be from six thousand to 
seven thousand feet. 
Many of the beautiful inlets in the southern half of this 
coast may be explored with small, open boats or even with 
canoes. Some of the inlets can be easily reached by leav-
