Mallison returned because he was afraid.

His face was ashen and his whole body trembled. "I hadn't the nerve," he cried, half-sobbing. "That place where we were all roped—you remember? I got as far as that... I couldn't manage it. I've no head for heights, and in moonlight it looked fearful. Silly, isn't it?"
