This is a very conspicuous mount in this region, being, like many of the others named on this line, detached to allow watercourses to pass northwards, and yet forming a part of the long northern wall, of which the Petermann Range is formed. This mount can be distinctly seen from Mount Olga, although it is seventy miles away, and from whence it bears 4 degrees north of west.
A single tap upon the panel of the cabin brought that merry old fellow, Herr Petermann, to open to them. Alban told him in a sentence what had happened and hastened back to the hotel. Count Sergius was a little more than uneasy when Alban returned he was suspicious.
"Pardon me, you were yesterday in company of the girl who is charged with its commission." "The charge is absurd I am sure of it." "We shall decide that for ourselves. You visited her upon the barge of the German merchant, Petermann. He is now in custody and has confessed as much. What did she say to you when you were alone with her?" "She asked me to help to set her father free."
Little Lois could tell a tale of Cossacks on the barge, even of rifles fired down into the hold, and of a child's heart beating so quickly that she thought she must cry out for very pain of it. But that was before the men were told that the ship belonged to merry Herr Petermann. They went away at once then to drink the old fellow's beer and to laugh with him.
When nearly at the eastern end of the Petermann that is to say, close to Mount Phillips we camped in Winter's Glen, where the whole tribes of the Petermann were located. They instantly armed themselves, and endeavoured to prevent our progress. Several of them recognised me, and I them; for in my first visit to this range, with Tietkens, we had three encounters with them.
Commodious cabins at the stern accommodated the crew and into one of these Herr Petermann now turned, stooping as he went and crying to his guest to take care. "It is rather dark, my friend, but you soon shall be accustomed to that. This is my private room, you see. In England you would not laugh at a man who works afloat, for you are all sailors. Now, tell me how you like it?"
"Lois it is Lois?" he said. The girl looked swiftly up and down the street before she answered him. He thought her very pale and careworn. He could see that her hands were trembling while she spoke. "Go down to the river and ask for Herr Petermann," she said almost in a whisper. "I dare not speak to you here, Alb dear.

There was yet another detached hill in the northern line, which is the most eastern of the Petermann Range. I named it Mount McCulloch. It can also easily be distinguished from Mount Olga. From Glen Robertson Mount McCulloch bore 3 degrees east of north. We rested here a day, during which several natives made their appearance and lit signal fires for others.
The first had been undertaken in 1868 under Koldeway and Petermann, but when the Germania returned another expedition on a larger scale the Hansa under Koldeway, and the sister vessel under Hegemann proceeded with all the necessary equipment from Bremen on the 15th of June, 1869, and on the 5th of July crossed the Arctic circle, where similar ceremonies to those practised when the "line" is crossed, were performed.
