rose at two or three, had a good plate of
porridge and some tea, and then started off.
For the first hour or two it would, of course,
be dark. Snow covered the ground, and the
thermometer would read anything from zero to
14° Fahrenheit below zero, which was the
coldest we registered. But though it was so
cold, I do not remember suffering from it.
The air was generally still, and we had the
advantage of starting from a warm house with
something warm inside us, and at the end of
our day's march, we again found a good warm
room to go to. It was afterwards, on the
Pamirs and in the Himalayas, that I really felt
the cold, for there, instead of a warm room to
start from, I only had a small tent, and some-
times no tent at all, nor sufficient firewood
for a fire, and the high altitudes, by causing
breathlessness and bringing on weakness,
added to my discomfort. Here in Manchuria,
unless it happened to be windy—and then, of
course, it was really trying—the cold affected
us but little. The roads were frozen hard and
the snow on them well beaten down by the
heavy traffic, and we trundled along a good
thirty miles a day.
