26 AMONG THE CELESTIALS. [CHAP. I.
But the lake was the saving feature. It
appeared to be about six or seven miles in
circumference, and at its farther end was an
outlet, from which flowed the main branch of
the Sungari. This, then, was the source of
that noble river which, a few hundred miles
lower down, we afterwards found to be over
a mile broad, and which has claims, indeed, to
be considered the main branch of the great
Amur —a river excelled in size and grandeur
by few others in the world.
I rejoined my companions, and we set off
rapidly down the mountain-side, delighted at
having successfully achieved the object of our
journey, and with the feeling that all our toil
had not been in vain. The Ever-White
Mountain was not white with snow, and there-
fore not as lofty as we had been led to expect ;
it was white, or partially white, with pumice-
stone from the old volcano. But it was a
satisfaction to have established this fact, and
the beauty of its flower-covered slopes and of
the meadows at its base, and the impressive
solitude of the wonderful lake at its summit,
were ample compensation for our disappoint-
ment at its height.
