Mr. WAFERv Voyages y Sec, 27 

 We travelled over many very high Moun-Thc maiq 

 tains 5 at laft we came to one furpaffing the ot 

 reft in heighth, to which we were four Days 

 gradually afcending, tho' now and tjien with 

 fome Defcent between while. Being on the 

 top, I perceiv'd a ftrange Giddinefs in my 

 Head % and enquiring both of my Compani- 

 ons, and the Indians, they all affured me they 

 were in the like Condition $ which I can onr 

 ly impute to the height of the Mountains, 

 and the clearnefs of the Air. I take this part 

 of the Mountains to have been higher than 

 either that which we crofs'd with Captain 

 Sharp, or that which Mr. Dan/pier and the 

 reft of our Party crofs'd in their return : For 

 from this Eminence, the tops of the Moun- 

 tains over which we paffed before, feem'd 

 very much below us, and fometimes we could 

 not fee them for the Clouds between 5 but 

 when the Clouds flew over the tops of the 

 Hill, they would break, and then we could 

 difcern them, looking as it were thro' fo ma- 

 ny Loop-holes. 



I defired two Men to lie on my Legs, 

 While I laid my Head over that fide of the 

 Mountain which was moft Perpendicular 3 

 but could fee no Ground for the Clouds that 

 were between. The Indians carried us over 

 a Ridge fo narrow that we were forced to 

 ftraddle over on our Breeches 3 and the Indi- 

 ans took the fame Care of themfelves, hand- 

 ing their Bows, Arrows, and Luggage, from
