MAP MAKING IN THE APURIMAC VALLEY 



Chief Topographer Bumstead working at his plane table making the map between Aban- 

 cay and Pasaje. The difficulties of map making in canons, varying from 4,000 to 10,000 feet 

 in depth, can scarcely be appreciated except by practical engineers (see pages 506, 507).

While we were enjoying the wonder- 

 ful spectacle and wondering whether any 

 civilized being had ever seen the glaciers 

 before, a magnificent gray deer with eight 

 prongs to his horns sprang out of the 

 grass near us, gave us a long look of in- 

 terested interrogation, and then dashed 

 ofif to find his friends. 



Our little guide was more interested 

 in the looks of the pass than in the deer, 

 and although he shook his head as it 

 came into view, it seemed to us that we 

 were most fortunate, for there appeared 

 to be no snow whatever on the trail all 

 the way to the top of the pass. But we 

 neglected to take into account the fact 

 that we were ap])roaching the pass from 

 the north or sunny side, and that there 

 might be snow on the trail on the other 

 side of the pass, on the south or shady 

 slope. 



THE GRANDEUR OF THE SCENERY 



All thoughts of this, however, were 

 temporarily swept aside by the magnifi- 

 cent view of Salcantay, which we now 

 had on our right hand. The picture on 

 p. 563 gives but a faint idea of the gran- 

 deur "of this mountain. In many ways it 

 is an ideally beautiful peak, rising as it 

 does to a sharp point, with its sides cov-
