Mount Logan Expedition
Left Cordova Tuesday
. (Cordova Daily Times) .
Eight daring explorers early this
morning said farewell to seaports and
commercial towns and set tbeir faces
toward the sunrise, prepared to pene
trate one of the north’s great never
never lands. They are the members
of Captain A. H. MacCarth^’s Mount
Logan expedition, who arrived here
yesterday on the Alaska. In addition
to the leader, the group included H.
F. Lamtoart, of Ottawa, deputy lead
er and former member of the Alaska
boundary commission; Lieutenant
Colonel W. W. Foster, of Vancouver,
B. C., who with Captain MacCarthy
made the first ascent of Mount Hob
son in 1913; Alan Carpe, of New
York; Norman H. Read, of Manches
ter; Henry Hall, jr., of Boston; Rob
ert H. Morgan of Boston and Ham
ilton J. Laing, of the Department of
Mines, Ottawa, an ornithologist of
considerable note, who spent last
summer studying bird life on Prince
William Sound.
The party will leave McCarthy,
their destination, today, on the morn
ing of May 12, and aiter their pack
train returns from Hubrick’s camp
all means of communication with the
outside world will have been cut off.
All of the supplies for the expedi
tion have been taken in, except pho
tographic and survey instruments,
which the explorers brought with
them yesterday.
It is almost impossible tc esti
mate the length of time the expedi
tion wiil be out, as it is hoped to
do some exploring in the 40,000
square miles of unknown country
which has never been mapped be
yond Mount Logan. The peak is
'.lie highest in Canada and th? only
impoitant one yet^ unsealed. Captain
MacCarthy has been nearer it than
any other person, having reached a
point about 25 miles from the sum
mit. . 5 or 20 miles closer than o :h< r
explorers.
Artei <0 days of ceaseless toil,
Cap»ain MacCarthy about a week ago
completed taking in food and o.her
equipment, with the aid of his pack
ers, Andrew Taylor, Miles Atchison
and Henry Olsen. They used three
dog iearns of seven dogs each, while
A. E. Trim and William Wyers went
along with six horses and two boh
sleds. They transported, in all, 17,000
pounds of supplies and dunnage,
placed in caches along the trail.
Just after the start they encountered
extreme cold weather and deep
snow, which necessitated relaying ail
the supplies. The teamsters went
a distance of 490 miles and then
were forced to return and leave the
remaining distance to be covered by
the four men and three dog teams.
Working over broken and unbe
lievably difficult ground, these four
men relayed the supplies for 950
miles to the advance base camp four
miles below the head of Ogilvie Gla
cier, from which point the final dash
for Mount Logan will be made.
Six main caches were made en
route, in addition to supplies being
laid out at points where Captain
MacCarthy estimated the expedition
would end each day’s hike. No dogs
or horses will be used by the men
in covering the ground; they will
walk from the time they leave Mc
Carthy.
Both the Canadian and United
State governments are interested in
the scaling of the peak, which is
second only to Mount McKinley in
North America. It is located in the
southeast corner of the Yukon terri
tory 26 miles from the north end of
Mount St. Elias and 20 miles from
the Alaskan boundary. It is about
70 miles from Yakatat bay and i"o
i altitude, determined by photographic
' survey, is 19,850 feet. The summit
stands almost 14,000 feet above the
level of the surrounding glaciers.
The ascent will be attempted under
the auspices of the Alpine Club of
Canada, in cooperation with the
American and English Alpine Clubs,
each of which have a representative
with the expedition. According to
the route laid out by Captain Mac
Carthy, the party will go from Mc
Carthy up the Chitina River SO miles
to the Chitina glacier, thence across
the Chitina glacier and the Walsh
glacier, up Logan Glacier and about
40 miles to the north-central side of
the mountain. The final ascent of
Logan involves a traverse of nearl *
12 miles at an elevation of 16,000
feet before the base of the fin.il 2,
000-foot dome is I’eached. On account
of the great difficulties and extreme
cold at such a high altitude so far
no' ui, great care was taken in pre
paring the climb. Supplies were
calculated to the last pound and all
superfluous items >were done away
wi’h on account of the difficulty if
back-packing over bauiy broken gla
:ci?ra. In summer miens* heat is als i
to be encountered cn the slope, al
though the temperature at night is
far below zero.
While two light-weight burner
| stoves and 45 gallons of gas have
been taken in, still lighter stoves
| must be used on the latter par: of
! the trip. Among the other items
taken in were 400 pounds of fuel,
1600 pounds of equipment—ice axes,
tents, snowshoes, etc., 7000 pounds of
food, consisting of rice, tallow and
fish, and 1800 pounds of hay and
grain for pack train horses which
accompany the expedition 88 miles
out of MicCarthy.
Naturally, lood has to be of the
most concentrated form. The allow
ance per man—ibased on the aver
age daily ration allowed by such
frontier organizations as the Royal
Canadian mounted police, internation
al boundary survey and the United
States geological survey—is a frac
tion more than four pounds a day.
The daily menu will not be exactly
exciting. For breakfast, according to
Captain MacCarthy, they will ring
the changes on the following: con
centrated dehydrated foods of vari
ous kinds, granulated potatoes, des
iccated eggs, powdered milk, tea,
lump sugar.
And for lunch and supper they may
get portions of sausages, boned chick
en, hulled nuts, prunes and dates,
and again more tea.
On the final stretch only the
lightest and most highly concentrated
foods will be carried.
Mrs. Elizabeth Mellors and her 4,
year-old daughter fell from a train
near Arkwright, England, but neither
was badly hurt.
After a rain frogs covered a road
near Gary, Ind., so that Chester
Morse had to dismount and lead his
bicycle for a mile.
Gateway want-ads bring results.
The Old Town Scintillates
when Oxford Boys Doll Up
OXFORD, Eng,, May 19.—(/P) —
For several years past Oxford men
of adventurous character have been
experimenting with new fashions
in evening clothes. They have tried
coats without tails, and coats with
white lapels, and double breasted
coats with knee breeches, but al
ways in vain.
At last a new style has been ac
cepted. Young Oxford men of means
and spirit now go out of an evening
in silk stockings, light silk knee
breeches, but or purple velvet jack
ets, and cream silk shirts much
frilled at the throat and the cuffs.
While the fashion is not greatly
suitable for subway or rainy even
ing^wear it is declared by its pro
ponents to be certainly more pic
turesque and a vast deal more pleas
ing than the “full dress” which what
they characterize as the dullest of
last centuries, has decreed should
encase mankind when he steps out
for a bit of an evening.
