  "On the 19th of August I left Kanab for the Uinkaret Plateau. Reaching Pipe Spring, 20 miles southwest of Kanab, I was rejoiced to find Mr. William H. Holmes, who had come to join me and co-operate in the work. Leaving Pipe Spring, we pushed across the desert to the southwestward, and in two days more made camp at the base of Mount Trumbull, on its southwest side. Preparations for a protracted camp were made and nearly four weeks were occupied in making excursions almost daily to all surrounding parts within one or two days' march. The Uinkaret Pleateau was quite thoroughly examined."

  "During our stay at Mount Trumbull Mr. Holmes's magical pencil was ever busy. Large and elaborate sketches of the panoramas presented from Mounts Trumbull, Logan, and Emma; of the splendid vista of the Toroweap Valley, and of the superlative spectacle of the Grand Canon as seen from Vulcan's Throne, were made in rapid succession.
  From the Uinkaret we returned to Kanab and proceeded thence to the Kaibab. I went there to visit those portions of it which I had not hitherto seen, and to review portions seen but not appreciated years before. Mr. Holmes devoted himself to making sketches of the chasm. Among them is a panorama of the Canon from Point Sublime. The studies on the Kaibab were of the same general nature as those of the Uinkaret, and had their bearing on the geological history and evolution of the district. 
  Returning to Kanab, Mr. Bodfish and his assistants were sent northward to Salt Lake City, with instructions to return at once to Washington. I remained with Mr. Holmes in order to make another journey
