He hesitated a moment, then said: +``Speak.'' +I answered, with perfect calmness: +``I WILL ASCEND THE RIFFELBERG.'' +If I had shot my poor friend he could not have fallen from +his chair more suddenly. If I had been his father he +could not have pleaded harder to get me to give up my +purpose. But I turned a deaf ear to all he said. 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 +said we would leave the village at 3 or 4 p.m. on the morrow; +meantime he could notify the guides, and also let the public +know of the attempt which we proposed to make. +.PP +I went to bed, but not to sleep. No man can sleep when +he is about to undertake one of these Alpine exploits. I +tossed feverishly all night long, and was glad enough when +I heard the clock strike half past eleven and knew it was +time to get up for dinner. 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. The applause it brought forth was +deeply gratifying to me, and I rode by with my plug hat in +my hand to testify my appreciation of it.
