Note 3 — Chapter IX · THE VENEZUELAN APPROACH TO RORAIMA
Reading edition
Cf. Timehri, vol. iv. (1885), “The First Ascent of Roraima,” p. 23, where Sir E. im Thurn, writing of Roraima and Kukenaam, says: “Rarely did we see the scene quite clear, a fact which, as the Indians were never tired of explaining to us, was owing to the habit of the mountain—they regard both mountains as one—of veiling itself whenever approached by white men.”
