BRAVERY OF AN ALPINE GUIDE.

How He Saved His Patron From
Falling Into a Crevasse.
A thrilling story of mountaineering
is told in the Quarterly to illustrate,
the danger OF making difficult ascents
with a single guide. A traveller fell.
through q snow bridge. His single
guide could just preserve his equli-.
brium, but was quite unable to do.
more; he could only hold Loyalty by
the rope and wait for the event. 1t
is difficult to conceive crueler STU
alton or more terrible responsible
ity--the very punishment devised by
Mezentius-and yet to decide upon
cutting himself free! Fortunately.
after about an hour-but by the,
merest chance-another party came.
i'll sight upon the glacier and the
traveller was drawn up in time to-,
save his life. If the rule is observed
that at least three persons must be
on the rope, no such danger can ever
occur. Though the idea still fingers
that brandy keeps out the cold,
the writer on mountaineering repeats /
that it has the opposite effect, and
hol is also valueless The broad path
is the only remedy for giddiness.
Another which was once tried may be
efficacious enough, but is only men
toned, without being recommended,
in the following story. A party of
four were entering on a narrow ledge,
when one fof the travellers declared
that he was giddy and could not
move. The leader, one of the two
most famous Overland men OF the
time (nearly thirty years ago), merely
turned to the second guide with the
brief command: Push him over
His orders were always beyond
question. and the traveller was straight;
way lowered over the precipice, and
after dangling on the rope for a few
seconds, was drawn back with all his
powers OF climbing restored.

Although American gentleman have
the reputation in Europe OF allowing
the female members of their families
to do much as they please, they have
not the name ofpossessing the quality
which Frenchmen call gallantry..
They are not makers Of compliments.

by an English-speaking guide in the
