A Most Forgiving Ape (Part2)

Overview

This part is a further description of how the touring party got a close observation of the gorilla. It develops in time sequence, in the natural process of climbing from the foot of the mountain to the point where they saw the gorilla. In the course of the description, the author also gives a vivid depiction of the natural surroundings at every stage and includes episodes having to do with his fatigue, fear, and joy with a humorous touch. All this makes the passage an excellent piece of description.
