We had climbed the face of a very steep mountain called Cape Mugford, some three thousand feet high every inch of which distance we had to mount from dead sea-level. When at last Israel arrived on the summit, he looked worried. He said that he had always thought surveying meant letting things drop down over the ship's side, and not carrying ballast up precipices.
