Near the summit the traces of the path are not distinct, and I said to Mr.S., after a while, that we had lost it.

He said, he thought that was of no consequence, we could find oar way down.

I thought however it was, as the ground was full of springs that were bridged over in the pathway.

He accordingly went to look for it, and I stood still because so tired that I did not like to waste any labor.

Soon he called to me that he had found it, and I followed in the direction where he seemed to be.
