Having oi vesica ourselves 01 every unnecessa- ry encumbrance, we commenced the ascent. This lime, like experienced travellers, we did net press ourselves, but climbed leisurely, sitting down so soon as we found breath beginning to fail. At intervals we reached places where a number of springs gushed from the rocks, nnd about 1,300 ' feet above tne lake, came to the snow line. From this point our progress was uninterrujlted climbing. Hitherto 1 had worn a pair of thick mocasins, with soles of parJIcChe, but hero I put n a thin light pair, which I had jrpught for the purpose, as now the use ofourtbl-s became neces sary to a further advance. I availed myself of a sort of comb of the mountain, which stood a gainst the wall, ..like- a buttress, and which the wind and,,the solar radiation, joined to the steep ness of the. smooth rock, had kept almost entire- " - r - - -' "J , - -r ri'.l'l J I . - . . . . e. : nil 1' I lit tUltlOUS. irUallUtl -Ol .atlVaitAin.tr.

I., a few .mi-, nutes we reached a point where the buttress was. j overhanging, and there was no other way of sur--mouriting the difliculty than by passing around one side of it, which wus ho face of a vertical precipice of several hundreed feet. Putting hands and feet in the crevices between the blocks, I succeeded in getting over it, and, when I reached the top, found my companions in a small ' valley below. Descending to them, we continued climbing,-anj iu a short time, reached the crest. 1 sprang upon the summit, and anoth er step would have precipitated roc' into aij im mense snow field five hundred feet below. To the edge of this- -field was a sheer1 precipice ; and then with a gradual, fall, the field "sloped oil' for about a mile, until it struck the fool' of another lowi-r ridge. I stood on a narrow 'crest, about three feet in .width,-Villi an inclination, of about V.';) degs. north ol degs. east. As soon as 1 had gratified the first feelings of curiosity, t descended and each man ascended in his turn ; for 1 would allow only one at a time to mount the unstable' and precarious slab, which it seemed as if a breath would hurl into the abyss below". We mounted the barometer in the snow of the summit, and fix ing a ramrod in the crevice, unfurled the national flag to wave iu the breeze jvhero never flag -waved before. -1 hiring our morning's ascent, we had met no sign of animal life, except the small spar row like bird .already mentioned.
