MOUNTAIN GUIDES FAIL HER.
Miss Peck VIII Make Another Attempt
Upon the Highest Andean Peak.

Miss Annie Peck, whose chief pleas
ure is climbing mountains, has re-
turned to New York from Peru, beaten
in her attempt to climb the highest
Of the Andes, beaten not by the noun
tain itself, but the worthlessness of
the men she employed as guides and
porters on the expedition. She is con-
vinced that she would have reached
the summit but for the faults of her
men and says she is going back with
Swiss mountain men to make another,
attempt.
AS it was she reached a height Of
$4,000 feet, being then about 1000 feet
above the summit. This was at her
first attempt One of her men deserted
and tho rest got drunk on the alcohol
which was carried as fuel for cook
ing. Besides they were all afraid Of
the trip and especially as they ap.
preached the top of the mountain, of
which they have superstitious dread.
The second attempt was like the
first, except that the men gave out
sooner and so less progress was made
before the attempt had to be aband.
oned.
