After sitting a while longer, and musing what I should do in this case, I was not able to bear sitting in ignorance longer; so setting up my ladder to the side of the hill, where there was a flat place, as I observed before, and then pulling the ladder after me, I set it up again and mounted the top of the hill, and pulling out my perspective glass, which I had taken on purpose, I laid me down flat on my belly on the ground, and began to look for the place.
Eindelijk kon ik deze onzekerheid niet langer verdragen, ik zette dus mijne ladder tegen de rots, en klom zoo naar den top. Daar ging ik plat op den grond liggen, en begon met mijn kijker naar hen uit te zien.
