When Sir lea Robert Schoraberg discovered the mono- ja tald? he declared it was impossible to lav reach its top except by balloon. Three ?u Jrtaf -exploicrs, Messrs.

It was left for Mr. Ever- pi aid Thurn to conquer Koraima. He gc gained its summit in December, 1881. hi He was so fortunate as to find on one he face of the mountain a narrow ledge, b rather perilous of ascent, which afforded tli a pathway to the summit. h< The mountain is about 8000 feel n, above the level of tlio sea, but the ex plorer, when he reaches the oase 01 ino gi percipitous ascent, is already 601)0 feel above tho sea.
