Further Ascents and Work at Bujongolo. 
Mt. Speke. Several Bakonjo had bruised their feet and 
stood in need of the doctor’s care. Profiting by the absence 
of the greater part of the tents, they proceeded with the 
work of improving the camp, enlarging the platforms already 
existing and forming new ones, filling up holes, moving blocks 
of rock and cutting down trees to increase the level space at 
their disposal. 
The fearful weather prevented them from taking any 
observations. During a whole week Commander Cagni was not 
able to see the sun for a single continuous hour. The rainfall 
was slight but almost incessant, and the fog was so dense as 
to make it impossible to see the further side of the valley. 
In spite of all this, Commander Cagni was able to take 
a few astronomical observations during fugitive moments of 
clear weather on the 25th, 27th, and 28th of June. 
On the 25th, Vittorio Sella, taking advantage of a slight 
improvement in the weather, started from Camp IV with 
Boccati, Brocherel, and Botta and accomplished the ascent 
of the Moebius Peak, the only one of Mt. Stanley which had 
not yet been ascended. He then made a short excursion 
on the serpentine rocks of the western slopes, crossing the 
ridge after demolishing the great snowy cornice with the ice- 
axes. Here they had a view of two good-sized lakes in the 
valley to the west. They came back to camp under a heavy 
snowfall, but the day had not been wasted. 
He set forth again on the following morning, by daybreak, 
with Brocherel and Botta. From the ice plain they saw the 
Duke on the summit of the Vittorio Emanuele Peak. They 
took photographs between one drift of mist and another, 
and in due time reached the summit of Alexandra Peak. 
The snow began to fall again as they returned to camp.
