markabIe experience as follows. The
last point OF habitation that we saw
after ascending was when We passed
Camp Sierra We passed through three
stratas. throwing over seven of our
sixteen bags OF ballast in order TO OBJ
tain a greater height.
I'VE passed upward through three
subcurrents and they were all going
north. At an altitude OF more than
1900 feet I saw that we would be
unable TO go higher, as our ballast was
practically exhausted I was informed
by members Of the party that TO con-
tinue over the mountain ranges would
necessitate a fight Of go miles before
we could come to q fat place adjacent
at the first available opportunity. and
dropped down through the clouds.
The two upper stratas were snow
clouds and very cold. Before we left

center Of this peak was a pine tree
which had been burned. and I called to

we were within 800 feet of the noun

tions, threw over all the ballast and
