Prince Luigi of Savoy. duke OF Abruzzia,
and nephew OF the king OF Italy, is at the
Waldorf. having reached this city after
accomplishing the feat of climbing to the
summit OF Mount St. Elias. Concerning
his achievement Prince Luigi is very mod
est He has avoided conversing about the
character Of the work he and his party
had TO perform before they arrived at the
summit or the scientific facts he has add
ed TO the former knowledge of the noun
tain. When he returns to Italy he will
prepare monologue concerning his ex-
periences which will be- it is said, of
great value to that division of the scien-
tlfc world interested in the study of
phenomena OF great attitudes.
This monologue will be accompanied by
photographs which were taken by the
party of various stages of the journey.
Some OF these, most notably those which
were obtained at elevations of more than
Leo feet. have no equals 1t is said, in the
world. The negatives are in the personal
possession Of the prince. who prizes them
as the most valuable of his trophies of
Mount St. Elias. They will be developed
in Italy and until then Prince Luigi de-
clines even to converse about them.
Chevalier Cagni was the princes spokes-
man. He was enthusiastic over the ex-
pedition. When asked how his party had
been received by the citizens of Seattle
he smiled as though the recollection was
humorous.

Did you encounter any great difficult

Frankly, no; the greatest was the ques-
tion OF transportation of food. It was nee
essary we should take sufficient with us
to assure our safety. 1t was essential to
climbers that we should not be overbur-
dencd. Yet every pound added to our
equipment increased our danger. We were
at last able to solve the difficulty and by
good fortune did not suffer from hunger. -
