This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1890 edition. Excerpt: ...Nos. 3, 4, and 5 were set, it was slippery, and the snow had been compressed into solid ice. After the line was completed I photographed the range, the end of the moraine with stake No. 1 for the foreground, and the opposite rock in the centre of the distant view. I then went along the line as far as No. 5, and with a hatchet hammered the posts in firmly. We measured the distance from No. 4 to the terminal moraine, where we made a cairn and found it 162 feet.

Several routes being open to our inspection, a much easier one was found than we had used in the descent. Again on Monday, July 16, I went up a little above timber-line on Table Mountain. From a ledge that I reached I observed that the extent of the glare ice in the centre of the snow-field had increased. The weather had been very warm, and had evidently consolidated much of the snow. On July 25, with Mr. Gil man I started for a third visit to Table Mountain, to look after the set stakes. We carried with us two ropes, respectively twenty-three and thirty-two feet long, ' for the purpose of measurement. Leaving Ferguson's at six o'clock A.
