The freezing Of foreign assets
was begun In April. 1910, when

they unwrapped my hands,
took of my jacket: settled me
into a tent already prepared to
receive us.
In spite of the threatening
weather the others were not long
in arriving: Rebuffat was the
first-his toes were frost bitten,
which made it difficult for him
to walk and he looked ghastly,
with a trickle of blood from his
lips, and signs Of suffering writ
ten large on his face. They un-
dressed him and put him In a
tent to await treatment.
Lionel Terray followed closely
behind, held on a rope by
Schatz, who was still in fine
fettle. Terray's appearance was
pitiful. He was blind, and clung
to Ang-Tharkey as he walked.
He had a huge beard and his
face was distorted by pain into
a dreadful grin.
Fatigue and Suffering.
Immediately after, Couzy
arrived, and then Lachenal, prac-
tically carried by two Sherpas.
His head lolled backwards and
was covered with a bandage. His
features were lined with fatigue
and spoke of suffering and sacri-
flee. He could not have gone on
for another hour. Like myself.
he had set a limit which had
helped him to hold on until now.
And yet Lachenal at such a
moment. still had the spirit to
say to Ichac::
Want to see how Q Chamonix
guide comes down from the
Himalaya?"
Ichac's only reply was to hold
out to him a piece of sugar
soaked in adrenalin.
It was painful to watch the
blind fTerray cropping for the
tent six inches from his nose: he
held both hands out in front of
him feeling for obstacles. He was
helped in, and he lay down;
then Lachenal. too, was laid
gently on q mattress.

Foutharkey lowered his eyes
to my hands and lifted them
again, almost with embarrass-
ment. With infinite sorrow, he
whispered: Poor Bara Sahib
-Ah."
These reinforcements gave me
a fresh access of courage, and
Camp II was near. Foutharkey
supported me, and Angawa safe
guarded us both. Foutharkey
was small and I hung on around
his neck and leaned on his
shoulders. gripping him close.
This contact comforted me and
his warmth gave me strength.
. I staggered down with little
jerky steps, leaning more and
more on Foutharkey. Would I
ever have the strength to make
it even with his l1elp?
Last Ounce of Energy.
Rousing what seemed my very
last ounce of energy, I begged
Foutharkey to give me yet more
help. He took my glasses off
and I could see better then.

to save my hands by braking
with my stomach. my shoulders,
and every other possible point
of contact. When would this
agony come to an end?
At last I was aware Of some
thing beneath my feet-the
ledge. I had made it! had to
go along it now, always held by
the, rope only three yards, but
they were the trickiest of all.
It was over. I collapsed. up to
the waist in snow-no longer
conscious of time.
Frost-Bite Gains Ground.
When I half-opened my eyes
Rebuffat and the Sherpas were
beside me, and I could distinctly
see black dots moving about near
the tents of Camp II. Sarki
spoke to me. and pointed out two
SherpaS coming up to meet us.
They were still a long way off,
but all the same it cheered me
up.

were getting worse and worse.
The frost-bite seemed to be
gaining ground-up to my calves
and my elbows.
Tie fantastic descent con-
tinued and I was sure that
every step would be my last.
Through the swirling mist I
sometimes caught glimpses of
the two Sherpas coming up.
Snow began to fall, and we
now had to make a long traverse
over very unsafe ground where
it was difficult to guard any
one. I recognized Foutharkey
and Angawa mounting rapidly
toward US.
I heaved q deep sigh of relief.
I felt now as I had laid down
q burden so heavy that I had
nearly given way beneath it.
Foutharkey was beside Inc, smil-
ing affectionately. How can
any one cal lsuch people ''prim-
itive," or say that the rigors Of
their existence take away all
sense Of pity?

corked their TASKS. All. just to

about in the most alarming FASH

they must hold me from behind.
I skirted round the avalanche to
our old track which started again
a little further on.
We now came to the first wall.

Flesh Laid Bare.
It was terrible: my wooden feet

in my hands. Without letting
go I endeavored to wind it
around my hands, but they were
swollen and the skin broke in
several places. Great strips OF

rope and the flesh was laid bare.
Yet I had to go on down; I could
not give up halfway.

To save nay hands I now let
the rope slide over my good fore

of my strength. Every minute !
felt like giving up; and why. any
way, should I go on when for me
everything was over? My con-
science was quite easy; every one
was safe, and the others would
all get down.
Ready to Die.
Far away below I could see the
tents. Just one more hour-I
gave myself one more hour and
then, wherever I was. would
lie down in the snow. I would
let myself go, peacefully. I would
be through with it all, and could
sleep content.
Setting this limit somehow
cheered me on. I kept slipping,
and on the steep slope the Sher-
pas could hardly hold met was
miraculous that they did. The

everything was at stake--and my
fingers could just look after

I placed Sarki and Ala on the
stance from which I had been ac-
customed to belay them. and
where the two Of them would be
able to take the strain Of my
rope by standing firmly braced
against each other. I tried to
