THE HATTIR.HORN ACCIDENT.

NARRATIVE OF ME. WHYMPER.
The following deeply interesting letter from the
pen of Mr. Whymper, the sole survivor of the four tourists
who climbed the Matterhorn with each a fed result, ep-

pears in the Time
" Sir,—After the direct appeals which I have received
from the President of the Alpine 131 fib end from yearned I
to write as amount of the solidest on the llattiff horn. I
feel it is impwlible to remain silent any longer, sod I
therefore forward to yen for p•bliantioe a plain stabeinere
of the aosideat itself mid of the fermata that preosded sad

followed it.
On Wednesday morning, the 12th of July, Lord
Francis Douglas sad myself cured the Out Thee-
dab to seek guides at Zermatt. After quitting the
ssow se the northern side we rounded the foot of
the glacier, crossed the Fume gLmfer, and left my test,
'ropes, and•otber matters is the little chapel at the Lao j
Noir. We then &weeded to Zermattv eogaged Peter
Tengwalder, and gave him permission to choose another
guide. Is ;he maim of the 1110111ille the Raw. Charles Had•
eon came into our hotel with rem!, Mr. Hadow, sad
they, is answer to some inquiries, announced their inten-
tion of starting to attack the Matterhorn oo the following
moonier,. Lord Francis Douglas agreed with in. it was
undesirable that two indepeodeot patios should be on the
mountain at the same time with the same object Mr. Hod-
son wee therefore invited to join us, sad he sweepted our
Montwel. Before admitting Mr. Harlow I took the pro-
motion to inquire what be had dose in the Alps, sad, as
well u I remember, Mr. Hudson's reply sea, ' Mr. Hadow
has done Most Blanc in lees time than most mu.' He
then mentioned several other excursions that were un-
known to me, end added, in answer to a farther question,
' I consider he is • sufficiently good man to go with us.'
This was an excellent certificate, given us as it was by a
first-rate mounteirwer, and Mr. Hadow wet admitted with-
out any farther question. We then west into the matter
of guides. Michael Cron was with Meesea. Hadow end
Rodeos, and the latter thought if Peter Teugwalder went
as well that there would not be 00CalliOn for anyone elm.
The question was referred to the men themselves, and they

made. Go objection.
" We left Zermatt at 5.33 on Thursday morniog, taking
the two young Taugwalders as porter., by the desire of their
father. They earned provisions amply sufficient for the
whole party for three days. in case the ascent should prove
more difficult than we anticipated. No rope was takes from
Zermatt, because there was already more than enough in
the chapel at Lae Noir. Ii has been repeatedly asked,
" Why was not the wire rope taken which Mr. Rodeos
breech% to Zermatt r I do not know ; it was not mentioned
by Mx. Stamm, and at that time I had not wren sees it. lily
rope slope was used during the exped.tion, and there was—
Gest about 200 feet of Alpine Clan rope ; mood, about 150
feet of a kind I believe to be stronger than the first ; third,
more than 200 feet of a lighter and weaker rope than the
first, of Ili kind need by myself until the club rope was

produced.
It was our intention on leaving Zermatt to attack the
mountain seriously—not, se it has been frequently stated,
to explore or examine it —and we were provided with
everything that lon experience hes shown to be necessary
for the most dißoult mountains. Oa the first day, how-
ever, we did not intend to amend to any great height, bat
ha stop white we found a good position for placing the not.
We mounted accordingly very leisurely, left the Lao Noir at
6.20, sad nosed along the ridge connecting the Hos nli
with the actual peak, at the foot of which we arrived
at 11.20. having frequently halted ea the way. We
then quitted the ridge, went to the left, and ascended
by the north-eastern fans of the mountain. Before 12
°Week we bad toned a good position for the tent, at a
height of 11,000 feet ; bat Cruz and the elder of Taut-
welder's toes went on to look what was above, is order to
save time on the following monism. The remainder con-
structed the platform on which the tent was to be placed,
and by the time this was finished the two men returned.
reported joyfully that as far am they bad gone they had
Wen nothing but that which was good, and amerced
positively that had we gone on with them on
that day we could have ascended the mountain,
sad have returned to the net with faellity. We
parried the remainiag hours of daylight--some basking is
the ennebiae, some stetehiag or windbag, and, when the
sun went down, giving, as it departed, a glorious promise
for the morrow, we retuned to the teat to arrange for the
night. Hudson made Mt, myself coffee, and we then re-
tired each one to his blanket bag ; the Tangwaklers, Lord
Fracas Douglas, end myself occupying the tent, the others
remaining by preference outside. But long after dusk the
&ilia above echoed with our laughter and with the songs
of the guides, for we were happy that night in camp, and
did net dream of calamity.
" We were astir long before daybreak on the morning of
the 14th, and started directly it was possible to move,
leaving the youngest of Tsugwaldsr's eons behind. At
8.20 es had attained a height of 12,800 feet. and halted for
half an hour. thee continued the ascent without a break
until 9.55, when we stopped for 50 minute., at • height
probably of about 14,000 feet. Thus far we had 'kneaded
by the horth-eastere fan of the mountain, and had mot
met with a single difficulty. For the greeter part of
the way there was, indeed, no occasion for the rope,
and sometimes Hudson lad, somegines myself. We
had now arrived at the foot of that part which from 1
Zermatt seems perpendicular or overhanging, and
we could to longer continue on the same Cos. By
common consent, therefore, we ascended for some distance
by the arire—that is, by the ridge descending towards TAT.
matt—and then turned over to the right, or to the north-
waders face. Before doing so. we made • change in the
order of ascent ; Oros now went first, I followed, Hudson
acme third ; Hadow and eld Time milder were last. The
change was made because the work became difficult foe a
time and required caution. lo some places there was
but little I. bold, and it was therefore desirable those
should be in (root who were least likely to slip. The general
slope of the mountain at this part was leu thee 40 deg.,
sod meow had consequently accumulated and filled up the
irregularities of the rook face, leaving only occasional
fragments projecting here and there. Thin were at times
coated with a thin glen of in, from the snow above having
melted and horse again during the night. Still, it was a
plan over which any fair mountaineer might pan in
safety. We found, however, that Mr. Hadow was act
accustomed to this kind of work, and required amitosis'
'lnstance ; but no one suggested that be should stop, and
he was taken to the top. It is only fair to say that the
difficulty experienced by Mr. /18414111 at this part tirno,
not from fatigue or lack of courage, but simply
and entirely from went of experisore. Mr. Enen,
who followed ma, passed over this part, and, es
fee as I know, ascended the entire mountain
without having the slightest assistance rendered
'to him on any eccasios. Sometimes, after I had taken a
hand from Croz or received a pull, I turned to give the
same to Hudson, but he invariably declined, saying it was
sot meosseary. This solitary, dillimit part was of no great
extent, certainly not mote than 300 feet high, and after it
was passed the angles became less and less as we approached
the summit ; at last the elope was so moderate that Oros
and myself detached ourselves from the others and no on
to the top. We arrived there at 1.40 p.m., the othesa
about ten minutes after us,
" I have been requested to describe particularly the
state of the party on the summit. No one showed any
signs of fatigue, neither did I hear anything to lead me to
suppose that anyone wag at all tired. I remember Oros
laughing at me when I asked him the question. We had,
indeed, been moving less than ten home, avid during that
time bad halted nearly two. The only remark which I
heard suggestive of danger was made by Croz, but it was
said quite casual, aid probably meant nothing. He said,
after I had remarked that we had come up very slowly,
' Yes ; I would rather go down with you and another
guide alone than with those who are gulag.' As to our-
selves we were arranging what we should do that night on
oar return to Zermatt.
" We remaine on the summit for one hour, and during
the time Haden and I stencilled, as se bad doge all the
day, as to the beat and **lest arrangement of the
party. Ws agreed that it would be best for Croz to go
first, an he was the most peaceful, and Hadow mooed ;
Hudacs, who was equal to a guide la sureness of foot,
wished to he third ; Lord F. Douglss was placed next, and
old Tangwaldsr, the strongest of the remainder, behind
him. I suggested to Haden that we should attach a rope
to the rocks on our arrival at the difficult bat, and bold it
as we demanded, as an additional protection. He approved
the ides, but it wee not definitely settled net it should be
done. The pasty was being arranged in the above order
while i was making • *ketch of the summit, and they
wen waiting for me to be tied in my place, when
some one remembered that we had not left our same, in •

myself to yang faugwalder and followed, catching them

" For more than two hours afterwards I thought every
moment that the neat would be my last ; for the Tang-
welders, utterly unnwned, were sot only incapable of
giving usistanoe, bet were in each a state that a slip might
have been expected from one or the other at soy moment.
I do the younger man, moreover, no Injustice when I say
that immediately we got to the easy part of the descent he
wee able to laugh, smoke, and eat as if nothing had hap-

composition sad we were in c use* serpcised by the
night when still at a height of 13 WOft. We arrived at
Zermatt at 10.30 es Saturday meriting.
"Immediately on my arrival I sent to the Pr/eldest et
the Commune and requested him to send as many men as
possible to emceed heights whence the spot could be coat-
lauded when I knew the four must have falls*. A em-
ber went and returned atm Ni bows, reporting they bad
seen them, bet that they could not reach them that day.
They proposed starting on Sunday evening, so at to reach
the bodies at daybreak on Monday but, not/Oise to
lose the slightest chance, the Rev. J. ft'Cormick and
myself resolved to start on Sunday morning. The guides
of Zermatt being threatened with excommuniastinn if
they did not attend the early mass, were unable to
accompany as. To several, at least, I am sure this
wane severe Vial ; for they assured me with team that
washer but that which I have ststed would have promoted
them from going. The Bev. J. Roberts,. and Mr. J.
Phillpotte, of Rugby, however, not only lent us their guide
—Franz A ndertnatten—but also accompanied us themselves.
Mr. Puller lent us the brothers Lozhniatter ; F. Psyot sad
J. Tsirraz, of Chamounix, also volunteered. Ws started
with these at Y a.m. on Sunday, sod followed the route we
had taken on Thursday mending until we bad puss s the
BOrnli, when we went down to the right of the ridge
and mounted through the scram of the Matterhorn
glacier. By 8.30 we had got on to the plateau
at the top, sad within sight of the corner in
which we knew my companioss must be. As we saw one
weather-beaten man after another raise the telt:amps, tors
deadly pala, and pans it on without a word to the next, we
knew that all hope was gone. We approached ; they had
talkie below as they had fallen above—Croz a little in ad-
vance. Bedew near him, and Bodeen some distance behind,
but of Lord F. Douglas we could see nothing. To my
astonishment I saw that all of the three had beentied with
the club, or with the second and eqoally strong, rope. and
consequently there was only one link—that between Tug-
welder and Lord F. Douglas—in which the weaker rope had
been used.
"The letters of the Beer. J. It'Oonnick have shindy
informed you respecting the subsequent proceedings. The
orders from the Government of tbe Valais to bring the
bodies down were so positive that four due after the events
I have just related 21 guides nicomplishot that sad task.
The thanks of all linglishmen are due to then brave men,
for it was a work of no little difficulty sad of great danger.

Only a few days before we met made the sanest of the
Gabelhorn, a summit far ace, difficult, I believe, to reeok

" This, sir, is the end of this sal story. A single slip,
or a single false step, has been the sole caves of this

If the rope had not broken you would not have received

for liturgical changes as questions " rm •
i '
they are part of • struggle., oP-
posit, and irreconcileatde church
built ou wholly different doctrinal foundations.
gelienitis of compreheuelea eau only proceed upon
the suppoe*on that the differences between the
two parties are of small account. But although
each side cheerfully takes this view of the distinc-
tive peculiarities of the other, and thinks they
ought to be surrendered, it denies it with respect
to its own. A claim to liberality is even pet up on
the ground of the readiness of one party to sacrifioe
the other's convictions. No doubt it is in the
highest degree illiberal to establish arbitrary
standards of conformity, as Suzzoos did, for
the purpose of excluding particular classes of
men. But the first duty which men owe in
ecclesiastical matters is to truth, and
neither individuals nor churches should be
stigmatized as illiberal on accoUnt of convictions
held with conscience, and professed with charity.
The present time, as Mr. CiLanirrons truly re-
marks, is not favourable to the discussion of changes
turning upon differences which may divide men
holding the cardinal doctrines of Christianity.
Ernest and devout Churchmen are alarmed.
They see unbelief emboldened by certain occur-
rences that have troubled their communion. On all
sides they hear unaccustomed language, and they
are unable to perceive clearly the consequences of
much that is asked for, which, for its own value,
they would be ready to concede. Mr. GLADSTONE
observes on this point :—" Many a Churchman
" would deal liberally in questions of admission to
" equality of all civil, social, or educational privi-
" leges, who not only would resist attempts to
" alter the Church itself, with a view to oompre-
" hension, but would, from fear of this latter
"object, become jealous of all concessions apper-
" taming to the former." This is, no doubt, a
true representation of the facts. It would be
easy to show that the fears to which Mr. GLAD-
STONE refers are unfounded. It is, for instance,
notorious that Dissenters are not exerting them-
selves to change the distinctive character of the
Church. The only serious attempts to break down
its spiritual authority and deprave its doctrinalstan-
dards that have been made in our own day have
been made by Churchmen. There would be nothing
gained by uniting men of adverse aims and oppo-
site beliefs. Every religious body must act on its
own principles, and do good in its own way. "If
" the good be real," observes Mr. GLADSTONE," it
" will always tend in the end to beget more good."
Unless we greatly mistake the signs of the times,
we are entering upon an era when the various
Christian bodies of this country will need all the
support which they can give to one another with-
out sacrificing principle, and then it will become
matter of regret if it should be found that the
feelings naturally born of invidious distinctions in
respect of civil, social, or educational privilege
have been allowed to hinder a mutual appreciation
of the Rood that exists in each body, and delay
the time when existing grounds of difference might
be examined in a spirit of charity, with a fairer
prospect of their removal.

EMBARKATION OF HER MAJESTY FOR
GERMANY.

The royal steam-yacht Victoria and Albert
arrived in the river yesterday evening, to be moored at
Greinhithe for the reception of her Majesty and several
members of the royal family, who will remain en board
the vowel till to-night. The most complete preparations
are being tarried out at the Royal Arsenal under the
direction of Ciptain Gordon, principal storekeeper,
for the embarkation of her Majesty on board the Alberta
strsam.yacht, Staff Commander Welch, which is now
moored in a cooverdent position alongside the T pier. A
short railway branch, constructed about seven years rime
from the Plumotend station of the North Keot line to the
storekeeper's department of the arsenal, will on this occa-
sion, for the filet time, be made available for the intuit of
the royal train, which, by means of opening huge folding
gates in the well which encircles the establishment, will be
enabled to pan direct to the storekeeper's departmentmd
within a few yards of the pier entrance. The space from
tl.e end of the railway to the pier has been so fitted up
that her Majesty and suite will, on alighting from the
carriages, walk direct to the pier head wider an arching, the
Boor being laid with baize, lit. The pier itself has been
decorated in the usual manner ; and although the embarka-
tion will be private, so far as the admiesion of the general
public is concerned, a select number will be admitted by
ticket' inured by the War Department end the hauls of
departments at the Royal Arsenal, who will be accommo-
dated within hairier' which have been erected on each aide
of the pier, down the centre of which the royal party will

persona provided with War-office or pier ticket" must
arrive at the Royal Arsenal at half-poet 4 o'clock this
afternoon, when the establishment will be o'osed. The
embarkation is expected to take place at 6 o'clock, and
the state of the tide will enable her Majesty and unite
to walk from the pier on board the Alberta, which will
then steam to Greenbithe, when the royal party will re-
embark on board the Victoria and Albert steam-yacht.
