The camera in its strong box was a heavy load to carry up the rocks, but it was nothing to the chemical and plate-holder box, which in turn was a featherweight compared to the imitation hand-organ which served for a dark room.

This dark box was the special sorrow of the expedition, as it had to be dragged up the heights from 500 to 3000 feet.

With this machinery we reached camp pretty tired and glad to rest the remainder of the day, especially as Prof.said we would enter the new canyon the next morning.
This was Sunday.

A few minutes after starting we passed between perpendicular strata rising out of the water, and gradually bending above over to the horizontal, then breaking into crags.

I never saw anything more like an artificial wall, so evenly were the rocky beds laid one against another.
