good fortune in having favorable weather
At Seattle we had hued eleven Americans

-Arter handing at Point Manly our real
hardship began. For fifty days we slept
in the snow In sacks, and several times we
were threatened with water famine, owing
10 the eNtren.e cold. ordinarily we wO'iid
melt snow TO get water, tut at times the
cold was SO intense hat as fastas we melted
the snow IL became solid ice.
Altogether We carried about o,Ooo
mounds OF baggage, which was loaded on
sleds. owing to the sOftness OF tie sno"
in some places, we experienced great
difficulty in dragging them. ON June 20
after yaIcountering all sorts OF hardsmps,
al times being almost UP TO oUr shoulders
in the snow, and having to cut steps into
steep snow slopes, which made oGr progress
slow anc tiresome, we finished our march
up the AgaSsiz glacier and arrived at the
divide between Mount Newton and Mount
st. Elias.
We rad previously abandoned most of
our provisions, and at the time OF our
arrival at AgaZiZ glacier had only two
sleds with US. These we were compelled
TO leave behind, each of Us shoUldering
about fifty pounds OF provisions After
undergoing thirty eight days of hardships
such ar 1 never want TO experience again
we arrived at the base OF Mount st.
Elias.
1T took us ahout seven hours to climb
the ice cliff leading 10 the divide, and
the real ascent began. We rested
e.. the divide all that day and suffered
terribly from cold and thirst.
AT l Il. h. on the morning of June
"a we started on our ascent of the sum
lit. and alter eleven hours OF slow prog

TO stand or each others shoulders and
lift one another over the most dangerous
and slippery localities. We at last fin

of more than two miles OF nearly vertical
height and reached the peak.
Mine was the first human foot that

half on the peak. The descent occupied
about sin hours, and was l. ade without
