Jack came over to me. and. layins

great question that arose was. what nuu~-
tain we should attack. Switzerland bad
been long used up Norway was voted
ton low for our purpose. The hichrs.
peak Of the Andes had already been at

plan to cut out the American on his own
soil. by cor ourrihc ahy peaks Of the
Rocky Mountains that we're not already

The more we talked the thing over.
the more we liked It,. Utterly unknown
to all Europeans. and surrounded BY q

could not be so. My life. for few days
before We started. was made burden to

Among these, L remember. were q cir

The last he asserted would he invaluable
in appeasing the minds OF the natives.
In spite Of the amount OF our imredi
