HIS F0OLHARDY FEAT.
A Nerve Trying Climb Up the Face Of
O Steep Precipice.


In his book. Trailing and Camping
In Alaska" A. NJ. Powell. a govern.
ment surveyor. tells how one Of his
party was led into most hazardous
predicament. He says:
We landed on a grassy nook at the
foot of precipitous mountain spur.
After supper one of the trio tried to
climb to ledge of white spar that
could be plainly seen from the camp.
After an hours hard work he reached
the ledge. but 1t proved disappointing.
He then saw that he could NOT de
scend without eyes in his toes. II he
could ascend a few hundred feet he
might lower himself down u draw by
the help of scattering alder brush. He
spent another hour in getting to that
place only to discover u precipice in
the path he had expected to descend.
There was another chance left; he
might climb to the top of the spur far
above. No living man could have
chung to the face of that precipice a
minute IL it had not been for the moss
that was rooted in the small crevices.
He continued climbing until about
10 o'clock. when he paused to look
down on the campfire and the water.
more than thousand feet below him.
He felt a sickness come over him. so
he turned his gaze to the rock wall. a
foot from his face.
When near the summit he found him
self face to face with perpendicular
wall about twelve feet high. There
appeared to be small bench on top
of this wall. on which he might rest
If he could reach it. He sat for a few
moments on large rock that lay at
the foot of the wall: then with his
knife he cut inches for finger and toe
holds. Holding on by these he climbed
up and dug sort of trench through
the moss on the rim above. through
which he might draw his body. Then
he descended to the rock for long
rest before making the final effort.
He finally nerved himself to the task.

himself from the rock which. with the
pressure of the departing foot. said
