Daring Feat Of A Woman

Mrs. Fanny Bullock Workman, who recently broke all climbing records in the Himalaya mountains by making the ascent of Loongma glacier, is an American woman.

During her experience she has had many perilous adventures. One of the least dangerous but most picturesque feats was the crossing of the Indus gorge on a rope bridge.

The bridge is 400 feet long and consists of three ropes, one to walk on and two to grasp with the hands. Smaller ropes fasten the three and make the movement of the three ropes uniform. The river is from 100 to 150 feet beneath the bridge. The ends of the ropes are pegged into the rocks.
