Mount Roraima. 267 
anti-climax to the most impressive scene I have ever 
witnessed, sent me, with mingled regret and sorrow, 
away on my homeward journey in the morning. 
But a very few words more, and I have done. We 
found the way up Roraima ; but, that done, we had ex- 
hausted our means, and were unable to proceed with that 
further exploration of the mountain which is most de- 
sirable. Often I hope that I may still be permitted to 
do that further work ; always I wish that, whether I or 
another do it, it may be done. The knowledge which I 
have gained would enable it to be done with comparative 
ease ; and if there is any one here, or elsewhere, who 
will undertake it, that knowledge shall be placed as 
freely at his disposal as it would be used by myself.
