Now, have long story to tell, and 1 must try to
take time to write it, On the second of October we
left Badrinath for home. The road down did not
seem terrible as it had the way up 1t lay along
the side of the river, and is seldom more than
four feet wide; and in some places one can only put
one foot before the other, where slip would be al
most to be fatal. In many places the road has
been broken away by snowbeds sliding over it, and
we had to over the loose earth where the hill
was almost perpendicular.
The snow beds often bring down with Them pra.t
MASSES OF rochs, bodlders ana trees. We crossed
some very large ones, anu Iounu The now stll w.
