the most interesting excursions In the annals of
Chamonix mountaineering took place yesterday,
when Miss Flossie L. Morse, aged thirteen accom-
panied by Mr.. E A. Evans and two other gentle
men, succeeded In making the ascent OF Mont
Blanc in one Gay, direct from Chamonix. 1t was
done under exceptional dtfnculties, the wind on
the Bosses des Dr0madatres being so strong that
the party were obliged TO return to the Grand
Plateau and reascend BY the Corridor, Muir de Ia
Cote, and the Petits Anlets. They left Chamonix
at pm, working their way across the Glacier
des Blossoms by the aid Of lanterns The young
lady is the youngest person OF either sex that has
