phere of crystal and not a cloud in the sky. Yet
something white and shining glimmering through
the loose foliage of some trees on my right hand
My heart came into my mouth with sudden bound
it gave when, after pungng through the trees like
one mad, tumbling into the ditch on the other side
and scrambling up great pile of dirt, saw the
Himmalayas before me-
Unobscured by a single cloud or speck of vapor
there stood revealed the whole mountain region.
from the low range of the Siwaliik Hills, about
twenty miles distant. to the loftest pinnacles of
eternal snow, which look down upon China and
Ihibet. The highest range, though hundred
miles Distant far into the sky as the Alps at
forty miles, and with every Glacier and spire of un-
trodden snow as clearly defined Their true mag
nitude, therefore, was not fully apparent, because
the eye refused to credit the intervening distance
But the exquisite loveliness of the shadows painted
by the morning on these enormous wastes Of snow.
and the bold yet beautiful outlines of the topmost
cones soaring to region of perpetual silence and
DEATH far surpassed any distant view of the Alps
any other mountain chain | ever saw.
AS seen from Brookhea the Himmalayas present
the appearance Of three distinct ranges The first
the Siwaliik Hills are not more than two thousand
feet in hight; the second or Sab Himmaayas, rise
to eight or nine thousand while the loftiest peaks
of the snowy range, visible from this point are 25
900 feet above the sea. Far in the northwest was
the Chore, an isolated peak, which is almost pre-
csey the height of Mont Blanc, but seems very
plgmy In comparison"
