CHAP. 1.] THE EVER-WHITE MOUNTAIN. 23
that we now really were approaching the great
White Mountain, the mysterious goal of our
enterprise. As we climbed higher the forest
began to open out, and on the fourth day after
leaving the mules we at last found ourselves at
its base, and saw its serried outline -rising high
above the forest. It was with a sigh of infinite
relief that we looked upon it, but I cannot say
that, here in its solid reality, it inspired us with
awe commensurate with the mystery which had
been attached to it. Rising high above the
surrounding forest-clad hills, it might in the
British Isles pass muster as a mountain, but
was far from being the snow-clad monarch we
had expected to see ; it afterwards proved to
be but eight thousand feet in height. Still,
here the mountain was, and what it lacked in
grandeur was made up for in beauty, for its
sides were covered with the most exquisite
meadows and copses. In Kashmir beautiful
grassy slopes are found, but none to compare
with these, the equal of which I, at least, have
never seen. Masses of colour, flowers of every
kind, whole meadows of irises, tiger-lilies and
columbines, and graceful, stately fir trees
scattered about to relieve any excess of colour
