In Darjeeling they rose at 2 a. m., to go to Tiger Hill for a view of Mount Everest but due to the clouds were unable to see it. From Darjeeling, however, they were able to see the Kanchanjunga range and when going to Cashmere they met the German expedition that was later completely wiped out in their at- tempt to climb Nanga Parvat, which has never been climbed as yet.

On the ship were many English soldiers, who were to be stationed in the city. Here they visited the rub- ber plantations and the pineapple fields, where the English get their pineapple. Later they visited the rubber factories, seeing the rubber be- ing shipped out in bales. They stay- ed at the Seaview hotel, five miles out of Singapore on the ocean front.

While in Singapore the sisters took a side trip to the Federated Malay states and also in the city visited the home of the originator of Tiger Balm, the patent icine that the Chinese believe in thoroughly. The house, Mrs. Merritt ‘said, contained an odd assortment of the modern and anti- que. They then sailed to Hongkong, which is noted for its beautiful har- bor.
