Abstract
ALL who knew Sir Henry Hayden well enough must recall a passing thought, more than once definitely formulated, that some day his irrepressible keenness for exploring new and little-known lands would lead to accident. Those who had the inestimable privilege of knowing him with real intimacy know well that, if he had to choose a way of ending his career, it would be on a mountain side and in a fight against physical difficulties. He never revealed and probably never entertained but one fear-that the medical history of his family might repeat itself and render him unfit for further exploratory work. It is appropriate that he should be laid to rest near the foot of a great mountain, and appropriate too that it should be the mountain which he had just conquered, for as a mountaineer he was as efficient as he was daring.
