the sad result of their foolish effort, the
older mountaineers tried to persuade them
against their rash attempt. but in vain.

The result. was that they nearly lost their
lives. Not far from the place where Nc
Clure was dashed to death they both lost their
footing and sped down the icy slope at light
ming speed, finally plunging into the cold
depths Of q crevasse. Fortunately 1t was not
wide enough for them to 90 down out OF
sight. Ansley, when he recovered conscious
ness, found himself about ten feet below the
surface, prevented from falling lower. by his
blankets which were wedged in the crevasse.
He managed to cut himself loose, and by
cutting steps in the Ice with his knife, sue
ceeded in getting out. Rogers called to him
that he was being cholled to death, but as he
was forty feet below the surface and Ansley
had lost his alpenstock and had no rope, 1t
was impossible to render him any assistance.
All he could do was to try to reach camp
and send out help from there. At late
tour, completely exhausted, he finally reached
Camp Mazama, and at once q rescue party
started out, found the; crevasse In which
Rogers lay. and with ropes drew his almost
ifeless body to the surface where he was
restored to consciousness and his benumbec
body warmed with hot drinks. Though much
bruised. neither Of the young men was seri.
ously injured, and their escapes from dealt
were almost miraculous. .=
