perehed high IN tbs air, from which We were
d make our descent A most extended view
met our gaze from thls point, the broad,
lazy, winding river seemed stretched ike a
make IN the plain below As II wound through
the lowiands % the sra beyond With our
ylasses We could discern the ships at anchor
At the port, thirty miles distant. while 10 he
back OF Us the mountains seemed piled up in
one long succession Of great and little peaks
Near this gate, and away up on the side Of
a cAf we found a Buddhist temple-noted
for the number Of little doll like images it
possesses, and Tor remarkable spring Of
fresh water that springs from the depth Of a
long cave OF which the temple forms the en-
trance. We went in and had a good cool
drink, not without a certain feeling OF awe,
however, IS our footsteps echoed from the
llU1el uepilS.
The descent from this place was an expert
ence not 10 be forgotten There was no path
in many places, and it would be a most diff
cult and trying task to ascend, but the de
scent consisted chiefly in jumping from one
footing 10 another, a performance that re-
sulted in bruises and tatters 10 some OF the
party. Yet we made il, and, perforce, in a
very short time, as compared to cur journey
Of the morning. Suangest of all was the
fact that the ponies followed US over this
horrible path Of movable stones They took
it slowly, but kept steadily at work. When
aIfoou slipped they would brace themselves
and slide, or perhaps sit down on their
launches, while their grooms held on TO their
tails TO assist them in holding back.
