TKAVEL, ADVENTURE, AND SPORT. 



So it Avill be seen our racing with the bottles was not 

 without some of the expense attached to that sport 

 in general But it was better to throw them away 

 than to fatigue the men with the thankless task of 

 carrying them down again. They were charged at 

 a high rate, as everything else is at Chamouni ; be- 

 cause it must be remembered, in such a wild secluded 

 place, the transport becomes very expensive.
