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.
Aguardé un poco más, pensando qué debía hacer en esta situación, mas no pude resistir por más tiempo en la ignorancia; así que apoyé la escalera en el costado de la roca para subir hasta donde se formaba una suerte de plataforma. Luego la retiré y volví a colocarla hasta que llegué a la cima de la colina.
