The wine-bags also fell to my lot to carry , and throughout the day , after each drink , I replenished them secretly with water , so that at the next halt they were found fuller than before ! This was considered a good omen , and little short of miraculous . On the first day we did not intend to ascend to any great height , and we mounted , accordingly , very leisurely . Before twelve o'clock we had found a good position for the tent , at a height of eleven thousand feet . We passed the remaining hours of daylight -- some basking in the sunshine , some sketching , some collecting ; Hudson made tea , I coffee , and at length we retired , each one to his blanket bag . We assembled together before dawn on the 14th and started directly it was light enough to move . One of the young Taugwalders returned to Zermatt .
