36: I sat silent some time, then turned to Harris and said:
37: ``My mind is made up.''
38: Something in my tone struck him; and when he glanced
39: at my eye and read what was written there, his face paled
40: perceptibly. 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. It was the only
140: testimony I could offer, for I was too full to speak.
