to ford the glacier stream, which, being of melted ice, was so
cold that it took the breath completely out of my body as I
waded through the water. It was glorious getting into some
clean dry clothing, then into a comfortable ulster, and then,
after a good tiffin, sitting in a chair and having a quiet read.
My appearance, though, was not becoming, for my eyes were
bloodshot and inflamed from partial snow-blindness, and my
nose, ears, and lips blistered from the bitter wind, while my
hands were cut and scratched from frequent falls on the
slippery glacier, and my knuckles cracked from the cold. But
I and all my party were very fit and well—far better, I think
than when we left India.
