Add the initial material ! 5: as follows and run it of as a TM: ! 6: Title: Ascending the Riffelberg ! 7: Author: Mark Twain ! 8: Author's address: Hannibal, Mo. ! 9: TM number: 75-1868-1 ! 10: Case number 39199 ! 11: File number: 39425-2 ! 12: Author's room number: MH 2C-520 ! 13: Author's extension: 9876 ! 14: Abstract: ! 15: Why climb Everest? ! 16: Because it is there, said Mallory. ! 17: Other keywords: Mountaineering ! 18: Cover sheet numbers: just use 1 2 3 4 5 6 ! 19: OK?

He hesitated a moment, then said: ! 41: ``Speak.'' ! 42: I answered, with perfect calmness: ! 43: ``I WILL ASCEND THE RIFFELBERG.'' ! 44: If I had shot my poor friend he could not have fallen from ! 45: his chair more suddenly. If I had been his father he ! 46: could not have pleaded harder to get me to give up my ! 47: purpose. But I turned a deaf ear to all he said. When he ! 48: perceived at last that nothing could alter my determination, ! 49: he ceased to urge, and for a while the deep silence was broken only ! 50: by his sobs. I sat in marble resolution, with my ! 51: eyes fixed upon vacancy, for in spirit I was already ! 52: wrestling with the perils of the mountains, and my friend sat ! 53: gazing at me in adoring admiration through his tears. At ! 54: last he threw himself upon me in a loving embrace and ! 55: exclaimed in broken tones: ! 56: ``Your Harris will never desert you. We will die together!'' ! 57: I cheered the noble fellow with praises, and soon his fears ! 58: were forgotten and he was eager for the adventure. He ! 59: wanted to summon the guides at once and leave at two in ! 60: the morning, as he supposed the custom was; but I explained that nobody ! 61: was looking at that hour; and that the start in the dark ! 62: was not usually made from the village but ! 63: from the first night's resting-place on the mountainside. I ! 64: said we would leave the village at 3 or 4 p.m. on the morrow; ! 65: meantime he could notify the guides, and also let the public ! 66: know of the attempt which we proposed to make. ! 67: .PP ! 68: I went to bed, but not to sleep. No man can sleep when ! 69: he is about to undertake one of these Alpine exploits. I ! 70: tossed feverishly all night long, and was glad enough when ! 71: I heard the clock strike half past eleven and knew it was ! 72: time to get up for dinner. I rose, jaded and rusty, and went ! 73: to the noon meal, where I found myself the center of interest and ! 74: curiosity; for the news was already abroad. It is not ! 75: easy to eat calmly when you are a lion, but it is very ! 76: pleasant, nevertheless. ! 77: .PP ! 78: As usual, at Zermatt, when a great ascent is about to be ! 79: undertaken, everybody, native and foreign, laid aside his ! 80: own projects and took up a good position to observe the ! 81: start. The expedition consisted of 198 persons, including ! 82: the mules; or 205, including the cows. ! 83: .PP ! 84: It was full four o'clock in the afternoon before my cavalcade ! 85: was entirely ready. At that hour it began to move. In ! 86: point of numbers and spectacular effect, it was the most ! 87: imposing expedition that had ever marched from Zermatt. ! 88: .PP ! 89: I commanded the chief guide to arrange the men and ! 90: animals in single file, twelve feet apart, and lash them all ! 91: together on a strong rope. He objected that the first two ! 92: miles was a dead level, with plenty of room, and that the ! 93: rope was never used except in very dangerous places. But I ! 94: would not listen to that. My reading had taught me that ! 95: many serious accidents had happened in the Alps simply ! 96: from not having the people tied up soon enough; I was not ! 97: going to add one to the list. The guide then obeyed my ! 98: order. ! 99: .PP ! 100: When the procession stood at ease, roped together, and ! 101: ready to move, I never saw a finer sight. It was 3,122 feet ! 102: long - over half a mile; every man but Harris and me was ! 103: on foot, and had on his green veil and his blue goggles, and ! 104: his white rag around his hat, and his coil of rope over one ! 105: shoulder and under the other, and his ice-ax in his belt, ! 106: and carried his Alpenstock in his left hand, his umbrella ! 107: (closed) in his right, and his crutches slung at his back. ! 108: .PP ! 109: The burdens of the pack-mules and the horns of the cows ! 110: were decked with the Edelweiss and the Alpine rose. ! 111: .PP ! 112: I and my agent were the only persons mounted. We ! 113: were in the post of danger in the extreme rear, and tied ! 114: securely to five guides apiece. Our armor-bearers carried our ! 115: ice-axes, Alpenstocks, and other implements for us. We ! 116: were mounted upon very small donkeys, as a measure of ! 117: safety; in time of peril we could straighten our legs and ! 118: stand up, and let the donkey walk from under. Still, I cannot ! 119: recommend this sort of animal - at least for excursions ! 120: of mere pleasure - because his ears interrupt the view. I ! 121: and my agent possessed the regulation mountaineering costumes, ! 122: but concluded to leave them behind. Out of respect ! 123: for the great numbers of tourists of both sexes who would ! 124: be assembled in front of the hotels to see us pass, and also ! 125: out of respect for the many tourists whom we expected to ! 126: encounter on our expedition, we decided to make the ! 127: ascent in evening dress. ! 128: .PP ! 129: At fifteen minutes past four I gave the command to ! 130: move, and my subordinates passed it along the line. The ! 131: great crowd in front of the Monte Rosa hotel parted in ! 132: twain, with a cheer, as the procession approached; and as ! 133: the head of it was filing by I gave the order - unlimber - ! 134: make ready - hoist - and with one impulse up went my ! 135: half-mile of umbrellas. It was a beautiful sight, and a total ! 136: surprise to the spectators. Nothing like that had ever been ! 137: seen in the Alps before. The applause it brought forth was ! 138: deeply gratifying to me, and I rode by with my plug hat in ! 139: my hand to testify my appreciation of it.
