Passing this, our path continued to descend the gorge until about two kos from Chungun, when another torrent came down to join its forces to the one we were accompanying; and leaving our old companion to roar its way down to join the Indus, we proceeded up the valley in the society of our new friend.
Thirty years on the banks of the ford! An old man am I and where is the oil for the lamp? Your pardon, but, because of my years, I sleep no sounder than a dog; and you moved to the door. Look, then, Sahib. Look and listen. A full half kos from bank to bank is the stream now you can see it under the stars and there are ten feet of water therein.
Descended the Waka Valley, leaving Shergol to our left, and thereby saving about a kos and a half of already explored road.

About five kos on our journey we halted to let the kitchen come up, and had our breakfast on the snow in the company of a select party of marmots.
