 In 1922 he wrote a full account of the expedition, published as "Mount Everest The Reconnaissance, 1921".During the 1921 expedition Howard-Bury found many footprints at high altitude, he later pronounced that the tracks "were probably caused by a large 'loping' grey wolf", however his sherpas were quick to offer that they were the tracks of a "metch kangmi" (meaning "filthy snowman").It was at this time that Henry Newman of "The Statesman" in Calcutta (now Kolkata) obtained descriptions from the expedition's porters on their return to Darjeeling.
