SNOW-BLIND ON MOUNT KENIA 263 



'You look it. You're as white as a sheet. 

 Here, take a hoot of this ; and here's a sandwich. 

 I thought you would need something when I 

 found you.' 



'"How did you find me? What made you 

 think I was up here?' I inquired. 



"'Well,' he began 'you remember that you 

 had said you wanted to come up here, so, when 

 you didn't appear last night and I saw that the 

 barometer was missing, I knew you must have 

 gone for the snow, as we have taken altitudes at 

 lower levels. Soon I struck your tracks on the 

 ridge back there and managed to keep them 

 fairly well until I heard your shouts, and then 

 I started on a run.' 



" He led me back to camp, and after three 

 days in the tent my sight gradually returned, 

 and then we packed up and descended to the 

 forest station."
