Yet the nearer I came to this_eternity in store the more my determination wastshaken. lts alti- tlndo to me was Simply appalling. A. great height has always been to me a most disagreeable sensation. As we dismounted at the base of the pyra- mid. I said: “pthers. may go up it. but not I. I Will satisfy myself with a View from the base. The ascent of it would. be to me a. foolhardy under- taking." But after I had given up all idea of ascending. I Ionnd my daughter was determtned to go. and I could not let her go With strangers. and I changed my mind and we start- ed with guides.

But his ascent and descent in seven minutes he was determined on. and so by the watch in seven minutes he went to the top and was back again at the base. It was a bloodourdling‘ spectacle. .
