Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Thursday, 19 June 1902
Pfannl [Heinrich Pfannl] and Wessely arrived [Victor Wessely], and explained—obscurum per obscurius—why they had not sent me any news. The whole affair was very mixed up. Still more extraordinary is the circumstance that they found wood up to camp VI—thick wood for cooking chupattis—where my men could not rake together sufficient to make tea. We talked pretty well all day about this and other things! All's well that ends well, I suppose. It gets cold here very quickly—it is now seven p.m. and there are already 3° C. of frost in my tent, and a stove has been going for the last hour. But I am tied into my valise in a sleeping bag and a poncho, with a hot-water bottle, and I have a sweater and a fur cap, and am not undressed—Yah!
