AN ASCENT OF BEN MACDHUI, 1883: 1. We Arose Punctually at Five A.M., and Set Out for the Mountain in High Spirits. 2. Having Acquired Excellent Appetites We Breakfast in Glen Derry. 3. Caught: "Only a Nippy." 4. Rain Begins to Fall: We Crouch Behind a Shelter-Stone. 5. We Renew the Ascent, But Are Compelled to Leave Behind One of Our Party: A Blue-Ribbonite Who Has Been Indulging Himself Inordinately With Ginger-Beer. 6. We Ascend Between Ben Main and Cairngorm: on the Glen Dee Side, but the Wind is too Boisterous to be Pleasant. 8. At Length We Reach the Top of the Ben, but are Disappointed in the Matter of a View. We Console Ourselves with Toasts, the Blue-Ribbonite Feebly Protesting. 9. Our Condition on Regaining Level Ground After Our Thirty-five Miles' Tramp. 10. Fighting the Day's Battles Over Again.
