A party composed of Atwell B. King,
Arthur T. Dalton and George Martin
landed from the long-forgotten S.S.
Britanma at Alberta Bay on Howe
Sound. They started up through trail-less
forest of the steep mountainside. Camp-
ing for the night on the edge of a preci-
pice, they resumed their upward way in
the morning.

“The boys hitched themselves together
with a long rope”, related a Vancouver

newspaper. “One man moved at a time

. in some instances compelled to press
his fingers into a depression and hang on
until the blood almost came. Thus they
advanced slowly until they reached the
top”.

But this breath-taking account was a
bit discounted when King, in reply to an
unsuccessful party’s accusation that his
party had never reached the top, returned
with a party which included three women.
Official observers at the old Court House
(now Victory Square) sighted their fire
and saw their figures on the sky line.

Curiously enough a party who thought
they were making the first ascent of the
Eastern Lion next year, found the record
of a party who had forestalled them by
about a year.

Alan Morley, in Romance of Vancou-
ver states the earliest name by which
the Lions were known to white settlers
was Sheba’s Breasts. The Sisters seems
to have been a name used widely before
1890. Major J. S. Matthews, city arch-
ivist, gives the Indian name as Chee-
chee-yoh-ee and renders it as The Twins.
Pauline Johnson interprets it as The
Chieftain’s Daughters.

She tells a legend of twin daughters
of an ancient Capilano chief who implored
their father to turn the feast marking their
attainment of marriageable age into a
meeting of all the warring Indian tribes
to pledge unending peace. The Saghalie
Tyee transformed the sisters into moun-
tain peaks as symbols of peace.

In view of this association it would
be less than generous to try to withhold
from a chief of the Capilanos whatever
honour rests in sharing in the first ascent
of the Western Lion.
