[Notes regarding this book:
May Crommelin became a FRGS. Before leaving Buenos Ayres, an invitation had arrived for her to spend a few days at Mendoza and rest before the fatigue of crossing the mountains, the crux of her long journey. It turned out that eleven were doing so, Miss Crommelin being the only lady. Her dress-trunks were small enough to balance each other on packmules when crossing the mountains but her best hats suffered - their light box was cruelly rope-marked and half buried under dead weight. Her travelling wear included a serge skirt and warm jacket - for the cold would be bitter on the mountains before sunrise and towards evening - and an enormous straw hat to keep the sharp air and sun from her ears and neck, with black silk ribbons tied over it gypsy-wise. An old German merchant lent her blue spectacles against the glare. Mountain sickness brought on a headache such as among the severest ones she had never before experienced. It was an agonising pain when her head seemed bound by an iron band screwed tighter every minute. She was asked to take garlic and it was a charm: she took only a little but felt better at once. In her feminine opinion riding uphill was worst. It may be a matter of saddle and dress. She shut her eyes, and felt the mule under her climbing up and up. She enjoyed the downhill part of the day most; there was enough danger to be exciting. Her tired mule began to stumble; her pace and manners were excellent, to do her justice, except at starting. A strong cup of tea, into which was poured some brandy, soon revived Miss Crommelin.
