territory. In all they accurately surveyed 40,000 square
miles of territory. And after crossing the Himalayas by
the Ayi-la (pass), 18,700 feet, in deep snow and with the
thermometer 24° below zero, they reached British territory
on Christmas Eve, and Simla on January 11. It was a
good piece of work, magnificently executed, for which the
greatest credit is due to both Captain Rawling and
Captain Ryder, and it was an immense relief to hear of
their safe arrival in spite of the risks of hostility and of
cold.
In the meanwhile Messrs. White, Walsh, Wilton, and

altitude as soon as possible. Now that we were back at
ordinary human altitudes, bathed in delicious air and
basking in the glorious sunshine, we realized what the
strain of those high levels, combined with the biting cold,

unconscious effort in breathing ; no more conscious fighting
against the cold. Existence was once again a pleasure,
and in the best season of the year, amid the most splendid
scenery in the world, with snowy peaks rising sheer out
of tropical forests into a cloudless sky, there was little
more a man could wish.
But in the midst of this dream of ease, and just the
very day before I reached Darjiling, came the rude shock
that the best points I had obtained at Lhasa were to be
