Excerpt from Appalachia, Vol. 5: The Journal of the Appalachian Mountain Club, 1887-1889 Leaving my companion to settle with the veteran which understood more of the other's vernacular, I now took a turn back up the mountain perhaps half a mile for an article I especially valued that I had had the misfortune to leave behind about where we had joined hands to descend together. In going and returning I had ample occasion to wonder at the speed we had made in the dark, and to appreciate the chances of bad falls we had avoided. Indeed it seemed as if with daylight I made hardly better progress much of the way. On my return it appeared that the Mexican had taken the prize. He was the possessor of one English word, a very expressive one to us in view of the outcome of our previous day's adventure, the single word sorry. We left him with his woolly companions, his dog, and his sorrow at about seven o'clock. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
