RESCUE WAS MOST PERILoUs
And Escape Most NIIracuIOus-Carr'ed to
Safety Up q Narrow Ledge

And Escape Most IIraculOus-Carr.ed to
Safety Up q Narrow Ledge.
The relief party found Mrs. Johns
position to be critical in the extreme.
Her escape from a frightful death had
been nothing less than miraculous. She
had fallen a distance of 300 feet down
the crevasse walls, and had partly
broken her fall by catching at juniper
bushes and scrub trees, through whose
branches she had plunged. When the
rope had been lowered Potter descend
ed to examine the ground and deter
mine the best course to pursue in get
ting Mrs. Johns from her perilous po-
sition.
There, lodged upon a two-fOot ledge,
with her clothing torn to fragments
and her flesh scratched and bruised,
lay Mrs. Johns, weak from exhaustion
and lack of food, and benumbed by
the frosty chill of the night. With
difficulty the rope was securely tied
around Mrs. Johns waist and an eff
fort made to help her to the rim above.
This attempt proved futile because of
Mrs. Johns weight.
BY leaning over the abrupt precipice
Potter could discern another and larger
ledge 100 feet below. He determined
to try this plan of rescue. Giving the
order to those above to lower the rope
Potter swung the inanimate form of
Mrs. Johns off the tiny strip of rock
upon which she had braced herself
for fifteen hours, and into the chasm
beneath. BY swinging the rope to and
fro Potter was able to lodge the body
of Mrs. Johns upon the larger ledge,
and then descended himself.
Calling to one of the mountain
guides above to come down Potter had
the rope dropped to the ledge upon
which all three were now resting. Then
the two picked up Mrs. Johns, and to-
gether they made their difficult way
around dangerous ledges and over
yawning precipices beneath, until final
ly worn out they reached the rim above
once more. Mrs. Johns Is suffering
much from nervous shock, but as no
bones were fractured she will recover.

and admOnished her not to remain aft

HE Is GRADUALLY WEARING DOVE
Until "His Pulse Stops FOrever"-Three
Servants of the Grim Terror.


Constant relapses, they say, such as
created alarm early yesterday. are
gradually wearing down the pOpe's
constitution, which seems immune
from any specific disease. Most per-
sons are inclined to the idea that Pope
Leo may go through perhaps two or
three repetitiOns of yesteray's ups and
downs. till, as DIR. ROssoni puts it,
'his pulse stops forever" Three causes
may accelerate the end-viZ, continued
inability to take nOuTishment, which
was exhibited today, sudden heart fail
ure or the progression of the pleura dis
ease. The latter is thought the least
probable.
As day succeeds day 1t becomes
pathologically clearer that 1t is a case
of very old man dying because he
has lived his allotted time. The pope
himself yesterday afternoon ordered
the four cardinals to be admitted, and
received them standing, he who is
supposed to be at the point of death
saying: please be seated" He re-
counted the impressive ceremony of
the morning, when he received the
DeneulcIlOD Ol luc HIdnCISClu OIutl.
The cardinals informed him of the
worldwide prayers for his life.
Pope Leo answered that he was
much gratified, but that he was ready
for his final departure, concluding by
saving Goods will be DONE" Even
more striking was the pOpe's inter
view with his secretary, Monsignor
Angel. His holiness sent for him, say
ing that he wished to see certain pa
pers, which the secretary brought.
Then, after short explanation, Mon
signor Angel wished to get the pope's
decision on the matter, but Pope Leo
said: "Well, well, not today. We will
| do that some other time"
| A curious controversy is proceeding
between the Vatican medical body
composed of ten doctors of lesser inn
portance than DIR. Lapponi, and several
foreign physicians over the embalming
| of Pope Leos body. Several foreign
ers having offered processes of EN-
balming. each more wonderful than the
other. the papal doctors unearthed pom
tifical bulls giving the right to EN-
balm the pope solely to the Vatican
medical body.
