foe first news, since the
nackers returned leaving tiie
party to its big adventure, came
m Saturday neon when Mr. Hail
and Mr. Morgan came in having
been forced to return thru after
Mr. Morgan had frozen Ids feet
in the extreme cold of the high
altitude. rL hey had left the party
at the 16,000 altitude waiting for
favorable weather to make the
dash for the peak. They reported
having encountered stormy and
cloudy weather which made it
impossible for them to move and
the temperature at times went
down to thirty three degrees
below zero.
Then early Monday morning
came the great news. Andy Tay.
lor accompanied by Mr. Reid and
Mr. Lambart came in with the
news of victory. Two days after
the departure of Hall and Mor

Cnpt. McCarthy, Col. Foster
and Mr. Carpe did not arrive for
two days following, they having
had trouble in negotiating the
Cnitina liiver on a raft which
J capsized soon after starting fore
in® them to walk in a* distance
of over sixty miles. When the
ralt tipped the movie camera
with nearly all the pictures of
the trip was thrown into the
water and it is believed that
they are entirely spoiled.
Except for frost bites the
party looks little the worse for
its trip. Ail are a little thinner
but tanned and hardened to a
line point and all make a point
of making light of the hardship*
and dangers encountered. But
there is no denying the perils
and hardships which can be seen
by 'reading between the lines’,
as it were.
Since their return they have
been the recipients of congrat
ulatory messages from all parts
of the continent but they treat
it all as a huge holiday and only
part ot the day’s work. McCarthy
from its personal contact with
the venture takes a great pride
in the exploit.
