Gen. Bruce was in command and there were
four other veterans of the 1922 expedition
namely, Mallory, SomerveI, Col Norton and
Capt Bruce. There were also Shebbeare of the
Indian forest department and Odell from Persia,
expert in the use of oxygen and geological
scholar. Kingston came as doctor and as natu-
ralist. The chief mountaineering recruits were
Andrew Irvine, an oxford rowing blue, and
Hazard. q sapper with a wide experience in
climbing.
sad disappointment was in store for Gen
Bruce. As the expedition crossed the lofty pass
Of Douka La . bitter gale swooped upon them
and next day the general was down with a
severe attack of malaria. Malaria is bad enough
in the tropics, but at $4,000 feet it is q very
serious illness. Under Hingston's care the
danger was over in few days. but the patient
had to be carried down out of Tibet and Col
Norton took command
The 1922 expedition had not been blessed with
anything wonderful in the way of weather, but
that of the Spring of 1924 was infinitely worse
1t was not the monsoon, rainy season, but
just ordinary-or should one say 'extraordi-
nary''?-bad weather which kept coming In
from the west. causing high winds, snowstorms
and intense cold. 1t must be remembered that
weather means everything in mountain climb
ing, and especially in such big job as climbing
the giant of all mountains.
WHEN the mountain was reached and the
work of forming camp began conditions
were verse than ever. shrieking gale with
81 degrees of frost was enough to discourage any
one. At camp No. 3, 81 900 feet blizzard ragged
and snow drifted into the tents. The marvel
was that the tents were not blown away One
Of the great difficulties in such q place and
such weather is TO do any cooking Even when
you have got your spirit stove burning it is
practically impossible to make tea, because at
such heights water boils at temperature so
low you can almost keep your hand in it.
In the end the party was forced by bad
weather to retire to camp No. 2. But by May
80 they were back at camp No. 3, and on June
camp No. was established at 25.300 feet.
Then Col. Norton and Somerville made start
for the summit.
The air was clear, but the wind was terrible.
It had such power that it was necessary to
lean into it when cutting steps. The route fol-
lowed was the same that had been followed by
Mallory, Somerville and Col. Norton and soon
after IL o'clock the highest point that these had
reached two years previously was passed. The
wind was not so bad and conditions were better
than before. The three porters were very tired
and one was lame about an hour later Col
Norton decided to make camp. The two chief
difficulties in campmaking on Everest are, first,
to find any shelter from the wind, and, second,
to find any level space on which TO pitch q tent.
On this occasion the party had to find and pile
up loose stones to make platform on which
they could rest. The tent was pitched and Nor-

exhaustion and frostbite which drove them
back.
Another trouble is that at the great heights
reached the climbers had no appetite for food.
Soup and sweets were almost the only things
they could swallow and these foods were not
enough to give them the strength necessary
to carry on in such intense cold. The bitter
wind was their worst enemy. Wool was found
to be no protection ct all and all had to wear
windproof outer garments. If they did not do
so they became frostb.tten, as happened to Capt.
Morshead in the first climb.
A SECOND attempt was made on May 20 by
Capt. Finch and Capt. Bruce and one Of
the Gurkhas. They took the oxygen apparatus
and beiEg caught in furious Storm had to
pass two nights at IS 500 feet. Eventually they
reached 27,235 feet, when they were forced to
beat retreat owing to being completely played
out At heights over 5000 feet it was found
that party could not climb more than 400
feet an hour. The weather grew worse and 1t
was plain that the monsoon was going to break
earlier than usual, so it was decided that
Somervell. Crawford and Mallory should make
a last dash. New snow had fallen and in spite
Of the frost the crust did not bear their weight.
They sank deeply at every step, making the
labor of climbing incredibly hard The three
Englishmen led the way, beating track for the
laden porterS. The idea was to establish fifth
mp at 10000 feet with store Of food and
zen.
About half past 1, as they pushed up n steep
slope, there came a loud crunch,ng sound,
which burst strangely through the calm air.
The smooth surface of the snow cracked and
broke open and before anything could be done
an avalanche swept the whole party down the
steep slope. All were of course, roped and all
carried slowly downward, crushed by waves Of
snow. Mallory, after being completely buried,
found himself shot to the surface and realized
that the slide had ceased He saw, too, that
Somervell and Crawford were both struggling
safely out of their white shroud Then he
looked for the porters. These having been
nearer the center of the slide, had been carried
farther and number OF them had been swept
over a precipice some so or 60 feet high. Four
only appeared TO have escaped. The English
men hurried to the help of those buried and
dug out two alive, but seven were killed. OF
the two who were rescued one. Sherpa named
Angtsrke, had fallen so feet and was found
upside down, tightly packed in hard snow.
Needless to say this terrible accident put ar
end TO the third attempt on the peak. The
bodies were left in their snowy graves and a
great earn was built in memory of the victims
The exp 7dition started back in driving sleet,
but soon found better weather, as we'll as flowers
and green grass, TO which they had been
strangers for mary weeks.
= second expedition was decided upon,
but. it took two years to prepare, and itswas
not until March, 1924, that it started. Again

 Ketchikan Officers

Battling" Mix, of K ct h ikan, conquerer of Ford Butler, and lead ing contender for the Alaska heavy weight boxing crown, lost his latest battle when he mixed with United States Deputy Marshal w. H.

 Mix is alleged to have imbibed too freely recently of a fighting brand of liquor at Ketchikan He got along all right until he tried to whip the two officers single handed. He got in two good blows, but they were too strong and after battle royal put the aspiring pugilist sound to sleep. Judge w. c. Arnold did the rest when Mix appeared before him the follow ing day He sentenced him to serve eight months in the Juneau Federal jail, and he will be brought here on the first boat from the First City

 Last year, the thing to do was give the Philadelphia Nationals some real pitchers and watch them go.
 They have had the slugging for some time, plenty of it. They bols- tered the pitching staff consid- erably this year, with Jim Elliott and Clise Dudley to help Collins, Benge and few others.
 Now they lack strong enough defense to get anywhere in par ticular. Burt Shotton, the genial and capable pilot of the Phillies, is working on this liability, hoping that the other gaps will stay plug ged in the meanwhile.

The Athletics have a chance to bowl over a number of additional records this year in their gallop to- ward a third successive American league pennant.
 The old As won four out of five in 1910-14, but this will be Connie Mack's first triple" to equal the marks set by the Detroit Tigers and duplicated twice by the New York Yankees under Miller Huggins.
 The Athletics can set new rec ord by winning the worlds cham pionship for the third straight time.
 Mack has already won more worlds championships than any other manager, five, but he needs to direct two more pennant winners dncluding l93D to equal the mark set by John McGraw of the Giants.
 The As with 13-game lead in August, stood good chance to bust the record margin of victory in an American league race. The Yankee maulers of 1927 set the league mark when they topped the As by 19 games.
 The same year, the Tanks created another league record, with 110 victories, and this likewise is within the grasp of the present Philadel- phia steamroller.
 The Chicago Cubs set the major league record with 116 victories in 1906.
 If anybody cares to have the dirt dished up now, the Athletics al- ready have the record for having lost the most games in any Ameri- can league campaign-1l7 in 1916.

Eastern Monopoly


 Eastern clubs have put strangle hold on the American league pen nant or gonfalon. It has been flown exclusively along the Atlantic seaboard since 1920, the year that Cleveland win it's only league title.
 It's been many a moon since the old Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox were up in the thick of the fight. St. Louis has yet to crash through, so far as the Browns are concerned, although the Cardinals have more than offset any embar- rassment to the Missouri metropolis on that account.
 Whats more, with Washington and New York alone showing signs of opposition, if any, to the parade of the Athletics, there is nothing much for the western half of the American league to look forward to for some time to come.
 Cleveland has looked like an up- and-coming club but failed by a wide margin to fulfill expectations this year. So far as the others are concerned, the well-known building
