Of air in this furnace and We
longed for the first slopes.
Crushed beneath our loads, we
had to summon up all our reso-
luton to overcome our difficulty
in breathing and our lassitude.
We climbed up the rognon, a
rocky outcrop in the middle Of
the glacier, under huge over
hanging seracs which threatened
us with a forest of icicles that
turned the suns rays into a rain
bow of color.
Terray and I took turns at
making the trail; the other two
seemed utterly worn out. AS we
approached the 20,000-foot level
our breathing was short and un-
even.
We were extremely tired, and
our legs barely held us up as
with slow. uneven steps we tried
to wrest a few yards from the
mountain. Each step was auto
matte. eyes glued to the heels Of
the man in front. We had to re-
sist the temptation to stop or re.
lax our effort.
Snow Begins to Fall.
AS we went up, visibility de-
creased. Everything was blurred
in the mist, and snow began to
fall. The trail that Terray and
I made by guess-work was GER
tainly not very logical, but what
did it matter? All we had to do
that evening was to pitch Camp
II somewhere toward the CEN
ter Of the plateau, out of danger
of avalanches.
It was showing heavily now
and we took our thick capes out
of our sacks. With Terray be-
hind me, I could manage to
steer some sort of course. I
must not turn round in a circle
as I had once done in similar
circumstances.
AS far as we could judge we
had now reached the center of
the plateau. We decided to
pitch the camp where we stood
for that night. at any rate.
In ones and two sahibs and
sherpas arrived at the site and
put down their loads. We took
hasty stock of the situation: It
would not be wise to let the
sherpas go back by themselves
to Camp I. So Terray. who was
in good form, proposed to ac-
company them.
Deafened by Avalanches.
1t was late and still showing
very hard. Terray was in a
hurry to leave, for the tracks of
our ascent were already almost
obliterated. He intended to
bivouac at Camp I in Sarki's
sleeping bag, after sending the
sherpas on down to base camp,
which was easy to reach. These
men would then be available for
carrying up more loads.
Our poor little Camp II was
completely lost among the snow
and ice. We were deafened by the
continuous roar of avalanches
and could not determine their
whereabouts-for that night we
would have put up with only rel
ative security. Amid fiurries Of
snow and gusts of wind we got
the tents up, fixed in the pegs
and constructed some sort Of
level platform: an hour later we
were all warm and snug inside.
Terray.. bivouacking down at
Camp I. was kept awake for part
of the night by violent wind.
The thickly falling snow covered
him up completely, so he shut
himself right into the cowl Of
his cape, at the risk Of being suf-
focated. After several hours he
relaxed and slept the sleep Of
exhaustion with his head rest
ing on the stones.
TOMORROW-Snow and Ice.
As exhaustion and difficulty in
breathing at high attitudes begin
to take their toll, the expedition
is defeated by snow and ice and
falls in an attempt to establish
