delicate tracery, deep blue gentians, golden

buttercups, azaleas, orchids, and njimbers of

other flowers of every type of beauty, all in

their freshest summer bloom.

The following day we visited some springs

which form one of the sources of the Sungari,

and on the next we ascended the mountain

hoped to look out beyond, far away over Corea

on the opposite side. At last we reached the

saddle, and then, instead of the long succession

of alternate hills and valleys we had made up

lake in a setting of weird, fantastic cliffs lying

directly at our feet.
