we emerged on to open slopes covered with
long grass and dwarf azaleas, heather, yellow
poppies, and gentians. Except the steepness
there was no difficulty in the ascent, and we

which crowned the mountain. We pressed

hoped to look out beyond, far away over Corea
on the opposite side. At last we reached the
saddle, and then, instead of the long succession
of alternate hills and valleys we had made up
our minds we should see unfolded before us,

lake in a setting of weird, fantastic cliffs lying
directly at our feet.
