when the thin, shifting moonlight
rendered it difficult to calculate dis

flung themselves athwart the path,
the idea was not to be entertained for

On the Side of Chimborazo.

BY ALBERT wv. TOLMAN.

The following narrative recounts a
stirring experience of Joseph Bel
mont, young Englishman of science.
The story is given practically in his
own words:
In the latter part of 1889 / was
employed in Ecuador by one of the
English universities to estimate alti-
tudes and measure distances among
the higher peaks of the Andes, and
to collect information about the coun-
try and its people. During December
I camped for some time with single
guide on the slopes of Chimborazo,
about 1000 feet below the snow line.
Ny companion was called Manuel;
be had no surname that i could dis
cover. He was full-blooded Indian
who had been recommended to me by
Spanish official. / found him silent
and stolid, but thoroughly trustwor-
thy.
Much of our time was spent in
making our way along the summit of
sharp ridges that fell off abruptly on
either side, in creeping cautiously up
steep slopes of rolling stones, and in
scaling sheer precipices, exposed to
the cruel winds that haunt those high
attitudes.
One morning we left our camp at
early dawn, and did not turn back
until late in the evening. Our labors
that day were more than usually ar
duous, and the thinness of the air
caused us much suffering. With
painting breaths we had crept along
knife-like edges until late in the af-
ternoon. The sun was setting, and
we were two miles from camp.
For some time we proceeded very
slowly. The light disappeared from
the west, the stars came out and the
moon bathed the mountainside in a
pale blush radiance. Manuel, who
was going ahead, came to a sudden
stop. Right across our path lay a
slope of rocks about 800 feet wide.
1t was declivity innocent enough to
look upon, smooth slant at an angle
of about forty degrees, but at the
lower edge it stopped as clean and
square as If 1t had been cut off with
knife. We were about three-quar-
aers of the way down. Five hundred
feet above us the slope started at the
foot of an unscalable cliff; 200 feet
below it stopped. i give these figures
as approximate merely, for in the
moonlight it was difficult to judge ac-
curately of distance.
Beyond the slope lay our camp,
and In some way we must get across
but We knew that If once those rocks
were started rolling. we should be
swept over the precipice in the ava
lanche. The passage would have been
a very easy matter had there been
any ice upon the incline to cement
the pieces together But so far as
we could see there was not particle
nor was it difficult to understand why
this was SO. The slope faced the
northeast, and all day long the hot
equatorial sun lay upon it. prevent
ing any moisture from gathering.
One way or the other we must go
We could not stand long inactiv,
without becoming so chilled that W,
could not go either forward or back
Which course should we take?
The answer was plain. To retrac,
our way was impossible, The jour
