said that he would never try to perform the
feat again.
Hardness driver. who accompanied him
on his record-br breaking ascent, said that
twice the car went so near the edge Of the
road that it knocked off the big stones
placed there to keep carriages from falling
down the mountain side. When Mr.. Hark-
ness was asked about this he said that the
pace was so swift that all he could do was
to keep his eyes ahead and the front wheels
straight He had no time to watch what
went on at the side or behind him, he said.
He wasn't able to shut off power at danger
GUS places, and had to throw off the gear
and let the engine race. The roads, he de-
clared. were altogether too rough and risky
