ence of any clouds. 1t seemed to
smile upon the sturdy mixers. After
three hours Of climb there vas no
yegetation-we had to tread only on
pahaehoe (lava rocks and gravel
which were hard on our shoes. Sew
eral times We rested Finally the
snow was in sight which gave the
BOYS renewed encouragement, NO"
each strove to reach the snow first.
To see and feel the snow was or
main object There is a plain sur
rounded by peaks. Right here the at
mOsphere was very thin and baImy.
We did rot exert ourselves more than
necessary for fear that someone might
faint. All OF a sudden everyone was
] stricken with headache. Its effect
was like nausea Like the Spaniards
who were on their way to EldoradO,
we strove to reach the snow which
was now before our eyes. Some OF
us we're better than others, and they
reached the snow first as we'll as the
summit
The majority Of the boys threw
themselves on the ground exposed TO
the cold air, thus tired themselves
more and increased their headache.
Under any circumstances 1t is advls-

legs. Finally everybody reached the
SNOW peak and the summit. Our eyes
roamed for miles around. Mama "a

Pursuanl TO our request the man

the snow. Eight O'Clock saw us tueu |
out, but happy at Lamala. 1t Was
a great hike. Everybody was gIau
Lnat ne made the IMP. The hardest
part or the enure trip from OoKala
was that last days climb, as we had
to maze it in one day-trom Lamala
to the summit. Uf course 1t is pos
sible to make it in two days or more,
but one has to sleep in the open and
at a risk. There is nothing danger
Gus. except that ne might be frozen
to death 1t is not possible to build
a bonfire because Of lack of wood.
The next morning, after bidding fare
we'll to our host, the party started for
Ookala. "Modestine" was lively on
our return trip, and we had great
times in chasing him. On our way
we stopped at Haupahoe for a few
minutes and after nine hours of hard
walk reached Ookala, a distance of
about "a miles.
Experience has taught us that it
pays to be systematic. In any party,
a large one like ours, 1t
is very essential that everyone be as
signed to certain duty, and every other
fellow ought to follow him. TOO
many cooks spoil the broth may be
applied in general. 1t is advisable
to take along more provisions than
are really needed, because then there
will be no fear of waste. In our case
we we're short Of food, and many
meal consisted of tea or coffee and
pork. Crackers are very good for
such a hike. By all means take a pair
of leggins and a pair of shoes with
nails on the soles. And 1t
Is we'll to take along some extra
clothing and a couple pairs of sox to
wear when sleeping. In conclusion
one should not forget to take along
first aid" materials, such as plaster,
bandage, cotton, cold cream, ointment
and headache waters.
