I’ve never seen any mountains quite like
the White Cap Mountains. They are called so
because the tops of them are covered by mists,
mists so thick that from a distance you cannot see
the tops. Though coniferous forests cover the visible
part of the mountains, the tops are barren. What
dwell in the mountains I cannot say. “Monsters,” was
the reply of a bird living near them when I asked him.
