MOUNT SHASTA.
srow Banners Of the Worlds Most Inn
pressive Mountain.

uTOW banners OF tNc WOTIub "obt I'M
pressive Mountain.
Travellers declare that Mount Shasta
Is the most impressive mountain In the
world. for 1t stands solitary and alone
Unlike Pixies peak and many other Of
the worlds great mountains. 1t Is not
surrounded by n number of lesser ones,
and its tremendous height-14, 40 feet
lis appreciated by the eye.
1t is sublimely grand and yet grace
fully beautiful Against the blue of
California sky its curved outlines seem
to sweep in the perfect segments of u
circle from the apex of the cone to the
horizon.
Far up on its base the dark green Of
the timber line is met by the virgin
Wilderness of Shasta's snow, and then
on, up and up, far past the summer
clouds, points the alabaster pyramid.
Shasta is an extinct volcano and has
two large glaciers. The Whitney gla-
cier is visible from the railroad. 1t
looks like a narrow streak of snow, but
1t Is over a mile In width and is seam
ed with great assures and crevasses.
At times a natural banner is unfurled
from Shastas peak. This is called the
'snow banner of Shasta" 1t only oc-
ours when the gale attacks the summit
and blows the snow in great gusts
streaming against the sky" as the
railroad book has it. The banner is
seen most frequently in November

CAPTAIN KOCH Brings TALE Of DANGER
AND HARDSH|PS ENCOUNTERED IN CROSSING
GREAT Inland ICE FIELDS OF GREENLAND

During the first forty days violent
blizzards ragged. The ponies became
snow-blind and so exhausted that
three had to be killed. Later the suns
rays tormented the travellers and
burned the skin from their faces.
Snow shoes were fitted to the feet
Of the two remaining ponies and prov
ed Of wonderful assistance to them in
the loose snow.
Unfortunately for the explorers it
was found necessary to kill another
pony on July II of this year because
the fodder had given out. The next
day the last pony was killed much to
the distress of the members Of the ex-
petition as few miles further on
splendid pasturage was found.
Without Provision.
The rations Of Captain Koch and
his companions had been meanwhile
gradually reduced and on July 13
their provisions were finished.
On July Is they tried to push on to
the coast which was now available,
but they were so exhausted they were
scarcely able to move. Finally the pet
dog which had tramped with them
for about 500 miles was killed and
eaten. The meal was hardly finished
when the explorers sighted Q sailing
boat in a ford to the east Of Troeven
on the west coast of Greenland.
By means of shots and signals the
explorers succeeded in attracting the
attention Of the vessel and Pastor
Chemnits. who was on the ship. soon

Copenhagen, Denmark, Aug. Is
The story told by Captain Koch, the
Danish explorer, Of the crossing of
Greenland in company with three har-
dy companions shows that the danger
and hardships to be encountered on
the great inland ice field have not de-
creased since Rear Admiral Robert e.
Perry and DIR. Fridjof Jonasen made
their Journeys over a portion of the
same deserted wastes.
The Danish leader and his three
Companions, German, Larsen, a sail
Or. and Sigurdson. native of Iceland,
were reduced during the journey to
eating a pet dog, the only animal left
Motorboat Dissppears.
After landing from their ship on
July "a, 1912. the first mishap en-
countered was the loss of q number Of
ponies. Shortly afterward their mo-
torboat disappeared through the thin
ice and the explorers were obliged to
ber before the ice was sunciently
thick to carry their sledges and hors-
es. When they were ready to start
DR.. WAgener fell and broke rib.
They established winter quarters
near Queen Louiseland Oct. 12. The
scarcity Of food there necessitated the
slaughter Of all the ponies but five.
During q sledging trip Captain Koch
fell forty feet into q crevasse breaking
his right leE, which kept him helpless
throughout the winter. On April 20
this year the four men broke camp
and with hve sleighs drawn by ponies
