We followed the latter, though for the Hispar pass the Bitermal way would have been the better and more direct. I did not wish to divide the party before it was necessary to do so. In five minutes we came to a set of sangars, recently and strongly built of large stones. They contained cells for something more than a dozen sharpshooters, and entirely commanded the path, the glacier being on the one side, with a steep face that would require time to descend, and a precipice of rock on the other. These sangars were doubtless built last year, when the Nagyr folk thought that they might be invaded by way of the Nushik, at the time the expedition was attacking Nilt. In twenty minutes, walking sometimes on the stonecovered ice, sometimes by the side of it on places equally stony, we came to the mouth of the Ganun Bar (or Garumbar Bar). There must be a glacier of considerable size in this nala, for the stream draining it is large. It is lost to view under the main glacier, as are all the other tributaries on both sides. We left the ice and took to the left bank, which was followed for the rest of the march with only a few short intermissions. The sky was all day cloudy, for which mercy we were thankful, but now a strong wind began to blow up the valley, and with it came rain in large drops; but neither rain nor wind lasted long. We had to cross a number of stone shoots and fans dowm which the wind brought numberless missiles, which it was both necessary and amusing to dodge. "Jaldi jao!" cried our guide--like many a Tommy Atkins, it was all the Hindustani he knew--and jaldi we went. In half an hour we reached a sheltered place under a small precipice between two gullies, aud there a brief halt was made. The stone-shoots and...

This book was released on 2017-07-17 with total page 740 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Climbing and Exploration in the Karakoram-Himalayas The chief results of my work are the map and the present volume. How much of the former covers new ground or modifies in important respects the representation of physical features may be easily perceived by comparing it with the corresponding sheets of the Indian atlas, which are readily accessible. The two sheets of my map are too large for incorporation in the ordinary edition of this work, but they are issued with the Edition de luxe. The expense of engraving this map, as well as that of developing my many photographs, was borne by the Royal Geographical Society. It is scarcely necessary to add that my survey does not pretend to be more than a sketch survey. It was made under all the disadvantages of rapid travelling and in almost continuous bad weather. The parts were fitted together by help of the points trigonometrically determined by the Indian Survey. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
