the party to camp at 4:30. Bowers,

was allowed to attempt to obtain

wall and eventually hoisted himself
to the barrier surface by wedging his
ski stick in a crack.
Ignorant of these events, after
failing to save our sick pony, my
own party had reached the barrier
where the ice, breaking under foot
forced us to retreat hurredly with the
gravest anxiety for our companions.

Nanking, Jan. 1s.-The close of the

New York, Jan 13.-Dr. Simon

Infantile paralysis is one OF the dis
