DEATH DUE TO FOG.
The Place Where Sorrel Met Death
Was Not Considered Especially
DANGEROUS

Paris July 27.-The locality where
young SOrrel, the mountain climber met
his death, is popular exploring ground
for Alpine climbers in the Mount Blanc
district, and is not regarded as espec-
tally dangerous for experts in clear
weather. Fogs, however, render pros
pecting very perilous for the crevasses
of the glacier De Taillefer (written also
Ta1efre) often open and close at very
short intervals.
The Colonel De TaiIlefer. or DefiIe
pass, rises to an elevation of 1,730 feet.
It is a the head or east end of the
glacier and between Aiguil1e (needle)
De Taillefer and the De Triotlet. Some
of S0rrel's most daring exploits had
been in connection with the glacier
passes.
