Government station at Kotabelud. From here to the base 
of the mountain he notes as thirty-four miles, which he 
accomplished in two days, following the Tampassuk route 
to Kiau. After the usual day of preparation at Kiau, he 
commenced the ascent on March 16th, and reached Pakka 
on the 18th, where he noted the highest temperature as 
fifty-four degrees at 1 p.m. The summit was reached next 
day, and “ a Sierra Club cylinder containing a record of 
the date and the names of the men accompanying me ” 
was deposited alongside the bottle left by Miss Gibbs the 
month before. 
When I visited the summit three years after, the Sierra 
Club cylinder had been appropriated by the spirits of the 
mountain, though Dr. Foxworthy’s note was found in a 
bottle with that of Miss Gibbs. 
Dr. Foxworthy left Pakka on the 20th, and reached 
Kotabelud again on March 24th. His article is illustrated 
by pictures of Kamborangah, Pakka, and the summit. The 
first and last of these pictures are reproduced in Miss 
Gibbs’ paper which we have just discussed.

This appears to be the only official account published of 
one of the most important expeditions to the mountain. 
The party of visitors consisted of Capt. Learmonth, R.N., 
and Lieut. Harvey, R.N., of H.M.S. ‘Merlin’; Mr. Clarke, 
of the British Borneo Exploration Company, and Mr. 
Scott Brown, of the Hepworth Cinematograph Company. 
Mr. H. W. L. Bunbury, the District Officer, met the 
party at Usukan Bay on June 4th, 1910, and after a week 
at Kotabelud they set out on the expedition proper on 
June 12th. Nights were spent at Kabaion, Koung, and 
Kiau. Leaving the last-named village on the 16th they 
followed a path through the paddi farms, striking the 
Kadamaian above the Minitindok gorge; thence by the 
usual route to Lobang. Next morning Kamborangah was 
reached in three hours and forty minutes, the next stage 
to Pakka cave taking about the same time. On the 18th 
a preliminary trip to the summit plateau was undertaken 
to find a suitable spot for another camp. The next day 
the whole party, with the exception of Mr. Clarke,* moved 
* Mr. Clarke visited the summit on the 20th, returning to Pakka the 
same day and to Kiau the next day.
