the prominent points, compass and klinometer. After supper we watched the 
sunset; it came later than usual. The atmosphere was as clear as crystal 
as only a few clouds were floating far beneath. This sight alone was worth 
the climbing of grand old Malindang. The following day Major Hearts returned. 
Privates Mott and McMurray and Senor Estrellas also climbed to the top that day, 
but returned in the afternoon. That day we erected on top a stone monument, 
5 feet high, and on top in the monument, was put a bottle with the Itinerary of 
the expedition. Major Hearns stayed on the summit three days and collected « good 
many birds, animals, and botanical specimens. 
On June 7th, at 12:00 we descended to the McMurray Flats. On June 8th, 
the whole party returned to the Camp on Mt. Bliss, and, June 9th, marched from there 
to Catagan, where we rested for one day. June Uth, we bid our friend Data 
Anib, "ADIOS," who had so hospitably received and entertained us, and went down 
to tengob, from there we returned to Misamis by vinta, arriving at 4:00 ".
