peaks OF the Sierra it attracts the cl6ds
which almost daily gather roundts
mead and burst upon it, so that sAe-
tunes 1t tries the nerves of the belest
to run the gauntlet of these stormk-At
sue times the whole mountain 4ems
charged with electricity. Sewers who
nave been caught there at suchs mo-
ment told me how it shot thrOug them
like needles; it buzzed ab65 their
heads like bees; they could lear it
Wh1stllng like a gale throughShe rig
glng OF a ship. The guides bag more
accustomed to such things areess terri
fled, but tourists are someone's para
lyzed with terror if not withhe shock,
and fall to the ground unaM to move.
Even the guides semetimesnink it is q
matter OF prudence to thra themselves
hat upon their faces, notD present a
point for the lightning Hstrike. The
poor brutes, taught by Amb instinct,
turn their heads from tlstorm and let
1t beat. Ii a party eraught on the
summit IN q long snow orm, it is pro-
bable that they Woul perish. In the
binding drifts it woHa be impossible
to find the path, and mortal strength
could hold out for AEny hours. Such
accidents do not eur, because the
guides are on the weh; when they see
a storm coming up ley bid all run for
their lives. They b with speed, and
come down often smbling and afraid,
as if, like Moses, had been up i'm
the mount into q cloud, and had seen
the awful poWeIEod.
