Further Ascents and Work at Bujongolo. 
perfectly clear and very cold morning, the Duke again went 
up to the Freshfield Pass. Roccati, who had accompanied 
him so far, here re-descended to Bujongolo with Sella, while 
H.R.II. proceeded directly to the Edward Peak, following the 
southern crest along which Sella had made the ascent three 
days before. The mists returned before he reached the summit. 
It was only late in the afternoon that he was able to take a 
few angles in a brief moment of clear sky. 
The Duke returned to the camp at nightfall. On the 
6th of July the weather was again completely overcast and 
no work was possible, but on the 7th he returned early in 
the morning to the summit and was able to complete all the 
measurements. 
On the following morning he ascended the Stairs Peak ot 
Mt. Luigi di Savoia before returning to Bujongolo. 
Commander Cagni in the meantime had left Bujongolo on 
the 6th with Joseph Petigax, Brocherel and a few natives 
to ascend the rocky peak to the north of the camp, which was 
to be connected on one hand with one extremity of the base 
line, and on the other with the net of angles of the different 
peaks. 
The Cagni Peak, as may be seen upon the map, rises at 
the southern extremity of a buttress which runs between 
Mt. Baker and the South Portal Peak, flanked by two little 
valleys containing small lakes and tributary streams of the 
Mobuku. 
Wishing to avoid the slabs of rock which had prevented 
the Duke in his recognizance of the 2nd of July from entering 
the valley to the west of the peak, and likewise to avoid 
crossing the Mobuku Valley below Bujongolo in the deep mire 
and through the dense heath forest, Cagni had decided to go 
255
