and at once removed boots and double socks. My toes
felt icy cold to the touch, and a rapid examination showed
that they had been severely injured by frost-bite.
I immediately set about to restore circulation by hard
friction with snow, Musa and Aziz, my Ladaki servant,
doing their best to help. A rapid reference to my
medical manuals showed that this was the safest course to
persist in. On my left foot the toes under this vigorous
treatment gradually recovered some warmth, though I
could see that the skin and the flesh below was badly
affected in places. But on the right foot the end joints of
all toes remained quite insensible. At last I had to seek
warmth and rest in bed, applying to the injured feet what
dressing I could get from my invaluable little medicine
chest of 'Tabloid' make which had so often served to
relieve the pains of others.
Thus a day of hard-achieved success closed in suffering.
It was bad luck, indeed; but I was glad all the same that
our exploratory tasks had been carried through to their
end, and that all my companions were safe.
