Hope it'll clear up soon, or I may be late getting down to Wastdale.

By the way, I wonder if they call this heap of stones I'm sitting on one of the cairns?
Good idea! it must be.
Yes, it's all right; I left my traps here and went fifty yards further on up the slope, and there's another cairn there--very lucky! I had a job to find my way back here in the mist, though.

However, I'm on the right track now.

Wonder what's become of those Cambridge fellows.
They're sure not to be up to my tips, and most likely they're wandering about lost.

Poor duffers! 7 o'clock .-- Hope I'm right, but it's getting more misty than ever, and I can hardly stand up in the wind.
