herself to only one drink every two

raned heavily. but Mrs. Stone declared
she lost all reckoning of time and she
hardly seemed to think. She suffered
greatly from the rough character Of the
rocks, which prevented her lying In
any position other than face down.
For a little more than eight days she
remained on the ledge. Then her oc-
casionally uttered cries for help were
heard by Aemmer. the Swiss guide, a
member of a searching party, who
lowered himself to the ledge.
Aemmer passed two hours getting her
in condition for the ascent. and then,
with the assistance of William Peyto a
prospector. who was at the anchor end
OF the rope, Aemmer managed to get
her to a place where he strapped her TO
