is one of gems. From Washington the range and the Southern peaks which
rise from it showed ruby fires of sunlight transmitted by the colored
leaves of creeping blueberries and the three-toothed cinquefoil. Lower,
emerald and bloodstone glinted among the dwarf firs, and lower yet
were zones of gold for the setting of as many gems as the forest could
furnish. All the blue stones of the lapidary showed their colors in
the distance while the woods of the lower slopes were chrysoprase,
garnets, topaz and all other stones which hold red, yellow or green
glints in their hearts. Looking westward only the centre of the Fabyan
plateau lacked this plaiding of interwoven gem colors. Instead it was a
level oasis of tender green around which sat the great hotels in solemn
sanctity.
The perfect clearness of this still mountain air was not only for
the sight but for the hearing. One's ear seemed to become a wireless
telephone receiver and sounds from great distances were plainly
audible. Voices of other climbers, I do not know how far away, seemed
to come out of the ledges of the high ridge of Boott's Spur as I sat
among them and looked toward the great gray summit of Washington. Among
the Derryveagh Mountains in the northwest of Ireland I have heard
voices of children at play a mile away come out of a fairy rath, or
seem to come out of it, and here at far higher levels was a similar
spell at work. Finally I located other voices, seeing people on the
summit of Monroe and others down at the refuge hut near the Lake of the
Clouds, talking to one another. That one party could hear the other at
that distance was strange enough, but that I, a mile farther away than
the people at the hut, could hear those on top of Monroe was a still
greater proof of the wonderful clearness of the air at that time.
[Illustration: The Crawford trail along Franklin, Mount Pleasant in the
distance]
Such a condition presages storm, and before night, from the summit
of Washington, I watched it materialize from thin air. In the sunlit
stillness a thin, long line of cumulo-stratus clouds appeared circling
the southern horizon from west to east. The line was broken in many
places and it was lower than the summit, for I could see clear sky and
land through the breaks. It did not seem possible that such a line of
disconnected clouds could bring storm. But they joined and thickened
while I watched, and by and by, as if at a word of command, far to the
south light scuds were detached from them and came scurrying in from
beyond Chocorua, blotting out Tremont and Haystack, Bear and Moat,
swallowing the Montalban Range and Rocky Branch ridge in their floating
fluff, coasting up and over Boott's Spur and blotting out Tuckerman's
Ravine. They whirled in upon us, palpable, cotton-batting clouds with a
chill in their touch, and wrapped all the summit in gray obscurity.
* * * * *
Again and again they broke and let me see all about, and each time I
saw that the ring of cumulo-stratus clouds was denser at the bottom,
and had moved in towards us from all the southern half of the horizon.
The sun set, but we did not see it. The world was blotted out in a gray
mass of scudding vapor that gradually became black night, out of which
by and by rain came hissing on a wind that shook the buildings of the
tiny summit village beneath their clanking chains. Morning came, and
noon of the next day. The wind had changed from south to northwest,
the sky in all valleys was clear, but still the dense clouds swirled
about the cone of Washington and swathed the high ridge of the whole
Presidential Range in masses of fleeting mist. No rain fell from this,
but to stand in it was to gather and condense it in the pores of one's
garments and become wringing wet.
[Illustration: "The world was blotted out in a gray mass of scudding
vapor that gradually became black night out of which by and by rain
came hissing"]
Feeling my way through this opaque blindness down the painted trail to
Tuckerman Ravine, I was well down to the verge of the head wall before
I could see below it. There the wind seems to make a funnel between the
Lion's Head and Boott's Spur and draw the clouds through it so rapidly
as to thin them. With the Fall of a Thousand Streams splashing all
about me, I saw the gray masses lift and through them the sun pouring
its autumn gold upon the plaid of Pinkham Notch. The ravine below me
was in shadow, but the fairy gold of that light seemed to flood back
into it and infuse all its dripping firs and wet rocks with rainbow
colors. It decked this mighty chasm in the mightiest mountain as if for
a bridal, and all along the downward trail by the rushing Cutler River
the firs shed diamonds and rubies with each touch of the wind, and the
birches, yellow and black and white, held their autumn gold encrusted
with precious stones.
In such guise was the mountain decked for my farewell to it, and though
the slanting sun shone warm on the Glen road when I reached it I was
wet with the parting tears into which all this finery dissolved as I
passed. The summit is lone now. The last train has taken the villagers
to the base and the village is boarded up. The hoar frost whitens it
as I write and the film of ice dulls the clear eyes of the Lakes of
the Clouds. Soon the snow will begin again to blow over the head wall
into Tuckerman Ravine and mass at the bottom into the glacier which
will once more stretch broad across the ravine next spring. Already the
crimson of the rock maples which flames the woodland begins to sift
down and leave the topmost twigs bare. Summer has said good-bye to the
summit, and though she looks often fondly back she is well on her way
south through the valleys.
