| The form of the ridge was a segment of a circle, with the higher points inland to the west. A circle of a few hundred feet in circumference was drawn, and each of the party took a segment for his portion. Zoned by those letters you saw the likeness of three Andes' summits; from one a flame; a tower on another; on the third a crowing cock; while arching over all was a segment of the partitioned zodiac, the signs all marked with their usual cabalistics, and the keystone sun entering the equinoctial point at Libra. |
