20 Timehri. 
Next day was Sunday and surely no mortal worshipped his Creator that day ina 
more splendid fane than we in that magnificent cathedral of nature. We spent 
the morning viewing the fall from every point near-by where we could get a 
glimpse of it, and at mid-day we reluctantly bade it farewell and commenced our 
return journey. We were two hours and a half in descending the plateau to 
Tukait, where we found the Indians we had seen the day before, with a few others 
who had joined them, making about a dozen in all. We left Tukait that after- 
noon and camped at Waratuk, and next day we reached Kangaruma, returning 
more quickly than we came as we had the stream with us. From Kangaruma 
we walked in to Potaro Landing, where we once more got into touch with civiliza- 
tion in the shape of Sprostons’ launch, and two days later we were back in 
Georgetown. The trip took eleven days in all, and I believe it has never yet been 
done in less time. 
No one who has not seen it can have any real idea of the majesty and beauty of 
Kaieteur, and I hope that the time is not far distant when facilities will be given 
which will enable it to be reached in less time and at less cost than is now 
possible. Two of those who have seen both Niagara and Kaieteur say that 
Kaieteur is the finer sight, and when one reflects that more people see Niagara 
in half-an-hour than have ever seen Kaieteur in the forty years since its discovery, 
and that people would as readily flock to Kaieteur as to Niagara if it were as 
easliy accessible, this colony should realize, that to put it on the lowest ground, 
it has a splendid commercial asset in the Kaieteur Fall.
