part with low trees and coarse

oi Dumouuete we heard OF the eN-
istence of a lake called Danao, IN
the mountains, and we determined
to visit it. We first followed one
of the old lava streams up to the
village OF Santa Rosa, made up OF
a few families OF Indians who were
engaged in cultivating abaca, or
Manila hemp. After leaving the
village and climbing for six hours
up che steep mountains and along
knife like ridges, we reached the
lakes. There were two Of these,
each perhaps a quarter OF a mile
in diameter and lying in a valley
surrounded by mountains so steep
that we were in continual danger
OF slipping down into the water,
which was over our heads a step
from the shore. The lakes seemed
to occupy an ancient crater, but
the whole country was so thicklY
covered with timber that we could
get but little idea OF ITS conhgura-
tion. The barometer showed a
height OF 3, 500 feet. The volcanoes
Of Mindanao are outside OF the ter.

Christian Indians, and have been
seldom visited. Mount Apo is
