two o'clock before
THE MARMOSET -RSB- The boys regretted that Angel had not accompanied them , as they saw numerous orang-outan ; and here for the first time they came across whole tribes of monkeys , particularly the marmoset , an interesting little creature . The most striking ones were the proboscis monkey , the face being not unlike that of an old man with an extremely long nose , with whiskers around the neck . Blakely and the Professor made many notes of the trees , and discussed the uses to which they might be put , and the boys had their eyes open for the wonderful display of animal life on all sides . It was fully two o'clock before their steps were turned toward the north , so that the hill could be reached , and when they emerged from the forest , Blakely pointed out the spot and the best way to reach it . The boys went forward with a rush , and mounted the hill , but while they searched in every direction could not locate the rocky recess occupied by Blakely . -LSB- Illustration : FIG. 17 .
