On the 17th, we left camp at 6:00 A. M. sharp, arriving, at the top of the 
mountain at 8. Cur disappointment can he imagined when from the top of this 
mountain we could see that we were not on the peak of Malindang, and to reach it we 
must go down a deep gulch then up the other side which would have taken probably 
two days* 
On account of the slow time we were making in at attempt to cumb Malindang, 
*ve very short distance we still were from Misemis and the thought that our rations 
i/ 
might run short at a bad time or place I decided to continue on our jorney leaving 
Malindang unclimbed. 
The mountain we were on was a peak almost exactly like Malindang and v ,< r j 
slightly lower, only a matter of probably 150 or 200 feet# 
8:00 o'clock in the morning of the 17th June at an altitude oi a- ■ - oi run 
mountain we named Lebo after our regimental commander. Lieut. Folcomb took many 
observations and will give bearing, height, etc. of it as well as of Malindang 
Tie must have been at 
Tbi 
in his map. 
I feel pretty certain that Mt. Lebo is hidden from the coast by 
Malindang and is between 8000 arid 8500 feet high. 
Our attempt at Mt. Malindang can in no way be considered a Allure and we would 
have ascended this peak, in addition to the one we did a sc end, had we net had a long 
As it was we were 
trie before us where all of our rations would be apt to bo needed, 
right up against Malindang but it would have required time to make t> - ascent. 
Yfe spent about an hour on top of Mt. Lebo then started forward on our .journey 
to Margos sa Tubig via Cumularang.
