GRUEsoME SOUVENIR.
WhensI was at Chamonix last season
one OF the, guides near the foot of the
Glacier dcs Blossoms picked up Il baton
with the name of j Bean, OF Baltimore,
Md, carved on the handle. Some read
ers may recall this terrible tragedy
1t was back in 1870 that u caravan of
II persisted on the summit of Mont
Blanc. Mr.. Bean, Mr.. Randall, another
American and the Rev. G.. Mccorkin-
dale left Chamonix with three guides
and five porters. Bad weather came on
suddenly and the wind became terrific.
No one returned. Three days later IA
Chamonix guides attempted to ascend
to the rescue but could not arrive even
at the Grande Mulets. Eight days after
the attempted rescue had rallied. when
the weather began to clear, persons ne
low with telescopes saw aloft i've sMa'l
black clots. When caravan assembled
they found five bodies sitting In the
snow. Six bodies never have been found
but as the alpenstock OF Mr.. Bean has
been elected by the glacier the bodies
may be discovered at any moment as 1t
takes between 30 and 40 years for the
glaciers to discharge their prey.
Unfortunately in my opiniCar the
steep white mountains have not finished
with tho massacre. / say this because
everybody nowadays wants to climb.
