ALL night their course lay through intricate defiles2 and over irregular and rock-strewn paths. More than once they lost their way, but Hope's intimate knowledge of the mountains enabled them to regain3 the track once more. When morning broke, a scene of marvellous though savage4 beauty lay before them. In every direction the great snow-capped peaks hemmed5 them in, peeping over each other's shoulders to the far horizon. So steep were the rocky banks on either side of them, that the larch6 and the pine seemed to be suspended over their heads, and to need only a gust7 of wind to come hurtling down upon them. Nor was the fear entirely8 an illusion, for the barren valley was thickly strewn with trees and boulders9 which had fallen in a similar manner. Even as they passed, a great rock came thundering down with a hoarse11 rattle12 which woke the echoes in the silent gorges13, and startled the weary horses into a gallop15.

As the sun rose slowly above the eastern horizon, the caps of the great mountains lit up one after the other, like lamps at a festival, until they were all ruddy and glowing. The magnificent spectacle cheered the hearts of the three fugitives16
