ABSTRACT

We had made most excellent plans to start early on our journey, but all of us were still sound asleep when the sun arose, and I was awakened to find a strange Tibetan face peering into mine. I was astounded and thought that through some treachery we were discovered, yet I still had enough gumption to pretend to go back to sleep again, for in the night I had taken off my dark goggles, and I was, therefore, afraid to let anyone get too close a view of my eyes without this protection.
