SUPPLEMENTARY CHAPTER 267 
society! We named our newly-surmounted 
peak Mount Bullock Workman, and then 
made our way back the same evening to our 
second encampment. 
On the following day, we returned by the 
Skoro La to make our way into the Shigar 
valley, in order to get a view of Mount 
Kosergunge, of whose attractions so many 
mountaineers have spoken. Some days later, 
after 1 had carefully explored our bearings, 
we found there was a possibility of making 
its ascent and determined to try it. We 
made two encampments and, on the 25th of 
August, at 2.15 p.m., reached the summit 
where we made a brief stay, recruited our- 
selves with a little cognac, and verified the 
barometer which stood at 21,150 feet. 
I was indeed delighted to have escorted a 
lady to this height, for Mrs. Workman has 
climbed 4,000 feet higher than any other 
member of her sex, and I am the first guide 
who has been lucky enough to accompany a 
lady to such an altitude. Proud and happy 
does the remembrance of it make me, and I 
should an 
? 
look forward to ‘‘ going one better,’ 
occasion present itself; I am sure a good 
lady-mountaineer could go even higher, and 
I only hope that I may be her chosen guide.
