Miss May Fuller, of Tacoma, Wash,
has lately made the ascent of Mount Ia.
coma, which only twenty: eight men, and
no woman before her, have ever accom-.
plished, says the New York Gmmerciial.
The mountain is 14,444 feet high. at
10000 feet the wind blew hurricane
over the unbroken snow. Miss Fuller,-
with the rest, slept in cave on the SUM-
nit, where the stream jets from the crater
looked like row of boiling tea kettles,
but where her shoes were frozen stiff, and

touched them, covered with ice. The

ascent had been, and the resolute young
woman suffered much from exposure and
exhaustion, but never once finched.
