Anne stared at him perplexedly a mo- ment, gave Blaze a confused, “Good night,” and left. They started out next morning on horseback, accompanied by half a-dozen picked native men under the same leader as the day before. A deep narrow gorge led them up the face of the mountain. Sometimes the path wound be~ tween boulders beside the brawl- ing torrent, sometimes up pre- cipitous slopes so far above the tiver that only a gentle murmur could be heard from it. They dis- mounted and crossed incredibly high wooden bridges that sagged and swayed at every step. women were almost in hysterics by the time a halt was called for lunch. The trail ahead would be too difficult and dangerous for horses, “Are we going to ride mountain goats from here on?” asked as she slid to the ground from her panting horse and lay there. “Now we walk,” said Anne, dropping down beside her.
