We had now Raid the full time we could afford, and had not, in 

 Iddif provifions for another day-, preparations were therefore made for 

 ©ur return, and on the morning of July 21ft, we fet off for DurdlL 



The morning was clear and lovely, and the fno wy peaks of Sume'ru 

 Parbat Ihone forth in full glory, illuminated by the riiing fun. Our

 exceedingly uncomfortable from wet. Somev^hat below the bridge, wq
