When he -perceived at last that nothing could alter my determination, -he ceased to urge, and for a while the deep silence was broken only -by his sobs. I sat in marble resolution, with my -eyes fixed upon vacancy, for in spirit I was already -wrestling with the perils of the mountains, and my friend sat -gazing at me in adoring admiration through his tears. At -last he threw himself upon me in a loving embrace and -exclaimed in broken tones: -``Your Harris will never desert you. We will die together!'' -I cheered the noble fellow with praises, and soon his fears -were forgotten and he was eager for the adventure. He -wanted to summon the guides at once and leave at two in -the morning, as he supposed the custom was; but I explained that nobody -was looking at that hour; and that the start in the dark -was not usually made from the village but -from the first night's resting-place on the mountainside.

I rose, jaded and rusty, and went -to the noon meal, where I found myself the center of interest and -curiosity; for the news was already abroad. It is not -easy to eat calmly when you are a lion, but it is very -pleasant, nevertheless. -.PP -As usual, at Zermatt, when a great ascent is about to be -undertaken, everybody, native and foreign, laid aside his -own projects and took up a good position to observe the -start. The expedition consisted of 198 persons, including -the mules; or 205, including the cows. -.PP -It was full four o'clock in the afternoon before my cavalcade -was entirely ready. At that hour it began to move. In -point of numbers and spectacular effect, it was the most -imposing expedition that had ever marched from Zermatt. -.PP -I commanded the chief guide to arrange the men and -animals in single file, twelve feet apart, and lash them all -together on a strong rope. He objected that the first two -miles was a dead level, with plenty of room, and that the -rope was never used except in very dangerous places. But I -would not listen to that. My reading had taught me that -many serious accidents had happened in the Alps simply -from not having the people tied up soon enough; I was not -going to add one to the list. The guide then obeyed my -order. -.PP -When the procession stood at ease, roped together, and -ready to move, I never saw a finer sight. It was 3,122 feet -long - over half a mile; every man but Harris and me was -on foot, and had on his green veil and his blue goggles, and -his white rag around his hat, and his coil of rope over one -shoulder and under the other, and his ice-ax in his belt, -and carried his Alpenstock in his left hand, his umbrella -(closed) in his right, and his crutches slung at his back. -.PP -The burdens of the pack-mules and the horns of the cows -were decked with the Edelweiss and the Alpine rose. -.PP -I and my agent were the only persons mounted. We -were in the post of danger in the extreme rear, and tied -securely to five guides apiece. Our armor-bearers carried our -ice-axes, Alpenstocks, and other implements for us. We -were mounted upon very small donkeys, as a measure of -safety; in time of peril we could straighten our legs and -stand up, and let the donkey walk from under. Still, I cannot -recommend this sort of animal - at least for excursions -of mere pleasure - because his ears interrupt the view. I -and my agent possessed the regulation mountaineering costumes, -but concluded to leave them behind. Out of respect -for the great numbers of tourists of both sexes who would -be assembled in front of the hotels to see us pass, and also -out of respect for the many tourists whom we expected to -encounter on our expedition, we decided to make the -ascent in evening dress. -.PP -At fifteen minutes past four I gave the command to -move, and my subordinates passed it along the line. The -great crowd in front of the Monte Rosa hotel parted in -twain, with a cheer, as the procession approached; and as -the head of it was filing by I gave the order - unlimber - -make ready - hoist - and with one impulse up went my -half-mile of umbrellas. It was a beautiful sight, and a total -surprise to the spectators. Nothing like that had ever been -seen in the Alps before.
