The tent-pegs should be of iron, as not only are wooden ones easily broken
in stony ground, but in parts of Tibet, and even in the higher valleys of the
Himálaya, they cannot be renewed for want of wood; besides which, the natives are
only too much addicted to the habit of using wooden tent-pegs as fuel when wood
is scarce. The mallet should also not be of wood, a good iron hammer being more
generally useful.
A small tent for the servants is absolutely necessary for their proper comfort,
as well as to enable them to cook during strong gusts of wind.
A good supply of stout ropes is very valuable, not only for the tents, but for
various other purposes; they are indispensable for glacier expeditions, and of great
use in bringing horses across rivers through which they may have to swim.
Dress. The shoes form one of the most important parts of the dress, especially
if the traveller sets out on a walking excursion, or glacier expedition. They should be
of European workmanship, and a much larger stock should be laid in than might be
expected à priori to be required. We found soles with screws more serviceable than
those with nails. It is also advisable to take several pairs of lighter shoes and
slippers, in case the foot should become sore. Strong shoes (should the traveller be
able to spare them) are at the same time a present unusually esteemed by the natives.¹
Native-made shoes may generally be considered utterly useless.
Leeches are frequently found during the rainy season, and in some of the lower
valleys of the Himálaya in such numbers as to become very disagreeable and trouble-
some. One of the most simple modes of protection is to soak the gaiters or stockings
in brine. Where leeches are particularly numerous, long leather gaiters, the upper part
of which is turned downwards, are very useful: the fold puts a definite stop of the
further progress of the leeches, and a great many may sometimes be found therein.
Flies, mosquitoes, and smaller peepsies (the bites of which are very painful,
generally terminating in sores) infest many of the lower valleys of the Himálaya, even
