locality from the gorge of the Malnbug. On May 2lBt he again deaoended to 
to 
the river, and followed it/3350 feet elevation, where it forked, one branch 
going north, the other northwest# He followed the larger one to an elevation 
of 3810 feet, and found it impossible to go further on account of the roughness 
of the country# Lieutenant Wood decided to aBcenfl Mt. Bliss, which he found to 
be very difficult. Here he camped, returning to Catagan May 22nd, 1906. 
On May 23rd, Mr. Hutchinson and Private West started to find a way of 
getting to the summit of Grand Malindang by following the lower course of the 
Bliss River (so we named the river which West and Mott had discovered). A 
Subano guide led him northeast from Catagan, thro' the Suhano settlements Kiraat 
and Kapatagan across several rivers (which are located on the new map). No 
trail leading any farther north, they followed through the forest, going mostly 
N. 25 west. This course they kept for nearly three hours when the rim of the 
gorge was reaohed, elevation 3200 feet, and, a thousand feet below, they beheld 
the Bliss River, impossible to reach, as the slopes were almost perpeddicular• 
The party camped here, and, on the next day, tried in vain to find a way to go down 
to the river; so they followed the gorge for some distance south and then by 
compass route, returned till they hAruck the Naculan trail, where they camped, 
returning the next day, by way of Kimat, to Catagan, arriving May 25, 1906. 
On May 19th, Captain Jervey and Lieutenant Earle, with Privates Bontly, 
Cragan and Egbert, returned to HisamiB, and here Captain Jervey engaged a guide 
for Jimenes, a town northeast of Misamis, to inquire about a trail leading from * 
that town to the foothills of Grand Ma'indang, but on arrival at Jimenes, 
Captain Jervey and Leittenant Earle received telegraphic instructions, from 
Department Headquarters, to return to Zambeonga. Before leaving Misamis, Lieut, 
Earle and Private Bently laid off a base line on the jgeaoh, and took readings 
by transit for triangulation on the peak of Grand Malindang. 
Captain Jervey and party then returned by vinta to Camp Overton, leaving
