He assured me that not only must the Ovis ammon be dead, or the vultures would not be there, but that our men must be there too, to prevent the birds settling on their prey. I felt much better, and was most anxious to go on, but Nibra said that if I did so we should never find my pony, and I could not possibly walk all the way to camp, so I very reluctantly began the long descent to where we had left the pony by the little stream in the morning; here we found him, and I rode back to camp. I hav...e always held that no sportsman should leave a wounded animal, but circumstances, and these terrible altitudes, were too strong for me, 35 and I was most unhappy till the men came in with the head — quite a beauty!
