CHAP. 1.] A UNIQUE LAIE. 25
The waters were of a deep clear blue, ever
changing in intensity of colour, and situated
here at the very summit of a mountain, and
held in one every side by frowning precipices,
this lake was unique in character as well as
position. We tried to descend to its brim,
but could find no way down the cliffs ; so,
after boiling a thermometer to ascertain the
altitude, I set out to ascend the highest of the
rocky peaks which formed a fringe around it.
The climb was a stiff one, and the risk of
crashing down with one of the rocks into the
deep lake almost directly beneath me not
always remote ; but at length each successive
rocky obstacle had been negotiated, and I
succeeded in reaching the summit the very
top of the Ever-White Mountain and from
there looked out over a billowy expanse of
forest-clad hills stretching away on every side,
as far as the eye could reach ; on the one side
over Manchuria, and on the other over Corea ;
nothing but forest, except where the lake below
me lay like a sapphire in a setting of rock, and
it was only by this and by occasional glints
of the river that the vast expanse of green was
broken.
