3G2 ALIBAD SERAI. 



way in the dark, over very dangerous 

 ground. 



We made a short march on the 3rd, 

 conveymg Colls in a rude litter we had 

 constructed, and encamped in a beautiful 

 spot ; we had some trouble to decide where 

 we should pitch the tents, each nook having, 

 in turn, the preference. During a long and 

 hot walk that day, we saw nothing except a 

 musk deer or two, many bears' tracks, and 

 old traces of stags ; so we determined to leave 

 this valley, and return to Bij Badi^a. 



From thence we crossed over the valley to 

 the Bhimber pass, and reached Alibad Serai 

 upon the 8th. Here we had no end of 

 trouble with the coolies ; they were all 

 afraid of the cold . to be encountered in the 

 pass, and had most exaggerated ideas of 

 the danger they ran in being frozen. 

 The fact is, the poor wretches have no fit 

 clothing. We hunted around Alibad Serai, 

 and leaving Colls there, at his own request, 

 to take care of his wounds, we went over 

 the hill.
