enjoys the experience. Whoever the
ingenious native was who first sug-
gested this mode of crossing a river
he probably came from the jungles OF
Assam and had seen monkeys crossing
the river there by mean Of growing
creepers-there is no doubt that he
found the one method which Is APP
plicable TO the big rivers, exaggerated
mountain torrents. of eastern Tibet
and far western China. The obvious
way for natives to cross a river is by
canoe, but. unfortunately. neither the
Salween nor the Mekong, big as they
are. are navigable even for canoes in
Tibet. The single-way rope bridge
overcomes every difficulty. Two small
platforms are made. n or either side
OF the river, one high UP, the other 20
or 80 feet lower down; stout posts are
driven into the rock and the bamboo
rope is slung across from post to post.
and frightened so that it slopes steeply
from one bank to the other. The
slider consists OF a half-cylinder or
wood. about three inches in diameter,
having two slots cut in its upper sur
face. one at either end. through which
pass the leather thongs; to these
thongs the man. baggage or animal is
tied. so that he hangs just beneath the
rope. and. being pushed off the plat
form, the slider carries him safely
over the river. 1t will be seen. there
fore, that two ropes are necessary at
each crossing. one for going each way.
The advantages of such a system are
obvious. The rope is cheap 20 make
and the materials are ready to hand:
1t is quickly put in place and. though
1t will not stand the wear and tear OF
constant use for very long, it can be
replaced in a few hours. 1t can be
suspended so high above the river that
il is completely out Of reach of sum
mer foods, but very often 1t is only a
few feet above the water at its lowest
point, and such ropes are under water
and impossible during the summer
On the other hand, | have seen ropes
as much as a hundred feet above the
river; they look rather alarming, but,
as a matter OF fact, it would make no
difference whether one fell one hun
dred feet or five feet into such a
river as the Mekong in Tibet. After a
few weeks use the rope begins to sag
at the lower end and may require
tightening up, especially If animals are
being slung across; a man can pull
himself up the last few feet. hand Ovel
hand. or haul up a box which has got
stuck, but an animal is helpless unless
he lands right on the opposite bank
Hundreds of these single-way rope
bridges are in use on the Mekong an(
