Three
hours
later
a
brief
bulletin
announced
the
resumption
of
the
flight
in
the
teeth
of
a
raw
and
piercing
gale
;
and
when
I
dispatched
a
message
of
protest
against
further
hazards
,
Lake
replied
curtly
that
his
new
specimens
made
any
hazard
worth
taking
.
I
saw
that
his
excitement
had
reached
the
point
of
mutiny
,
and
that
I
could
do
nothing
to
check
this
headlong
risk
of
the
whole
expedition
's
success
;
but
it
was
appalling
to
think
of
his
plunging
deeper
and
deeper
into
that
treacherous
and
sinister
white
immensity
of
tempests
and
unfathomed
mysteries
which
stretched
off
for
some
fifteen
hundred
miles
to
the
half-known
,
half-suspected
coast
line
of
Queen
Mary
and
Knox
Lands
.
Then
,
in
about
an
hour
and
a
half
more
,
came
that
doubly
excited
message
from
Lake
's
moving
plane
,
which
almost
reversed
my
sentiments
and
made
me
wish
I
had
accompanied
the
party
:
"
10:05
P.
M.
On
the
wing
.
After
snowstorm
,
have
spied
mountain
range
ahead
higher
than
any
hitherto
seen
.
May
equal
Himalayas
,
allowing
for
height
of
plateau
.
Probable
Latitude
76
°
15
'
,
Longitude
113
°
10
'
E.
Reaches
far
as
can
see
to
right
and
left
.
Suspicion
of
two
smoking
cones
.
All
peaks
black
and
bare
of
snow
Gale
blowing
off
them
impedes
navigation
.
"
After
that
Pabodie
,
the
men
,
and
I
hung
breathlessly
over
the
receiver
.
Thought
of
this
titanic
mountain
rampart
seven
hundred
miles
away
inflamed
our
deepest
sense
of
adventure
;
and
we
rejoiced
that
our
expedition
,
if
not
ourselves
personally
,
had
been
its
discoverers
.
In
half
an
hour
Lake
called
us
again
:
"
Moulton
's
plane
forced
down
on
plateau
in
foothills
,
but
nobody
hurt
and
perhaps
can
repair
.
Shall
transfer
essentials
to
other
three
for
return
or
further
moves
if
necessary
,
but
no
more
heavy
plane
travel
needed
just
now
Mountains
surpass
anything
in
imagination
.
Am
going
up
scouting
in
Carroll
's
plane
,
with
all
weight
out
.
"
You
ca
n't
imagine
anything
like
this
.
Highest
peaks
must
go
over
thirty-five
thousand
feet
.
Everest
out
of
the
running
.
Atwood
to
work
out
height
with
theodolite
while
Carroll
and
I
go
up
.
Probably
wrong
about
cones
,
for
formations
look
stratified
.
Possibly
preCam
brian
slate
with
other
strata
mixed
in
.
Queer
skyline
effects
-
regular
sections
of
cubes
clinging
to
highest
peaks
.
Whole
thing
marvelous
in
red-gold
light
of
low
sun
.
Like
land
of
mystery
in
a
dream
or
gateway
to
forbidden
world
of
untrodden
wonder
.
Wish
you
were
here
to
study
.
"
Though
it
was
technically
sleeping
time
,
not
one
of
us
listeners
thought
for
a
moment
of
retiring
.
It
must
have
been
a
good
deal
the
same
at
McMurdo
Sound
,
where
the
supply
cache
and
the
Arkham
were
also
getting
the
messages
;
for
Captain
Douglas
gave
out
a
call
congratulating
everybody
on
the
important
find
,
and
Sherman
,
the
cache
operator
,
seconded
his
sentiments
.
We
were
sorry
,
of
course
,
about
the
damaged
aeroplane
,
but
hoped
it
could
be
easily
mended
.
Then
,
at
11
P.
M.
,
came
another
call
from
Lake
:
"
Up
with
Carroll
over
highest
foothills
.
Do
n't
dare
try
really
tall
peaks
in
present
weather
,
but
shall
later
.
Frightful
work
climbing
,
and
hard
going
at
this
altitude
,
but
worth
it
.
Great
range
fairly
solid
,
hence
ca
n't
get
any
glimpses
beyond
.
Main
summits
exceed
Himalayas
,
and
very
queer
.
Range
looks
like
pre-Cambrian
slate
,
with
plain
signs
of
many
other
upheaved
strata
.
Was
wrong
about
volcanism
.
Goes
farther
in
either
direction
than
we
can
see
.
Swept
clear
of
snow
above
about
twenty-one
thousand
feet
.
"
Odd
formations
on
slopes
of
highest
mountains
.
Great
low
square
blocks
with
exactly
vertical
sides
,
and
rectangular
lines
of
low
,
vertical
ramparts
,
like
the
old
Asian
castles
clinging
to
steep
mountains
in
Roerich
's
paintings
.
Impressive
from
distance
.
Flew
close
to
some
,
and
Carroll
thought
they
were
formed
of
smaller
separate
pieces
,
but
that
is
probably
weathering
.
Most
edges
crumbled
and
rounded
off
as
if
exposed
to
storms
and
climate
changes
for
millions
of
years
.
"
Parts
,
especially
upper
parts
,
seem
to
be
of
lighter-colored
rock
than
any
visible
strata
on
slopes
proper
,
hence
of
evidently
crystalline
origin
.
Close
flying
shows
many
cave
mouths
,
some
unusually
regular
in
outline
,
square
or
semicircular
.
You
must
come
and
investigate
.
Think
I
saw
rampart
squarely
on
top
of
one
peak
.
Height
seems
about
thirty
thousand
to
thirty-five
thousand
feet
.
Am
up
twenty-one
thousand
,
five
hundred
myself
,
in
devilish
,
gnawing
cold
.
Wind
whistles
and
pipes
through
passes
and
in
and
out
of
caves
,
but
no
flying
danger
so
far
.
"
From
then
on
for
another
half
hour
Lake
kept
up
a
running
fire
of
comment
,
and
expressed
his
intention
of
climbing
some
of
the
peaks
on
foot
.
I
replied
that
I
would
join
him
as
soon
as
he
could
send
a
plane
,
and
that
Pabodie
and
I
would
work
out
the
best
gasoline
plan-just
where
and
how
to
concentrate
our
supply
in
view
of
the
expedition
's
altered
character
.
Obviously
,
Lake
's
boring
operations
,
as
well
as
his
aeroplane
activities
,
would
require
a
great
deal
for
the
new
base
which
he
planned
to
establish
at
the
foot
of
the
mountains
;
and
it
was
possible
that
the
eastward
flight
might
not
be
made
,
after
all
,
this
season
.
In
connection
with
this
business
I
called
Captain
Douglas
and
asked
him
to
get
as
much
as
possible
out
of
the
ships
and
up
the
barrier
with
the
single
dog
team
we
had
left
there
.
A
direct
route
across
the
unknown
region
between
Lake
and
McMurdo
Sound
was
what
we
really
ought
to
establish
.
