marvelously adaptable machine, the
human body, Is able to achieve. But
point is reached where useful ac-
cltmatization appears to cease and a
very real deterioration, accentuated by
fatigue, lack of sleep and cold, gains
the upper hand; once that has hap
pened, good-by to all chance of climb
ing the mountain.
In 1888 it was observed that, after
slow acclimatization at lower levels.
most men retained more or less nor
NAL appetites at least as far as the
North Col, at $4,000 feet, and some
showed little change even at Camp v,
2,500 feet higher.
At Camp vi, 27,40O feet, things were
altogether different. Cooking there
requires, of course, an immense effort.
This, and loss of appetite. caused the
climbers to make very poor meals.
Thirst, too, drove them to think rather
of beverages, or of meat essences,
which were a stimulant rather than a
food. Solids were mostly beyond them.
Expert Advice Scanned.
All this has to be remedied If a
climber is to put forth the tremen-

seemed that compromise of some sort
was inevitable, for the views of the
specialists, however distinguished,
command but little support when ex-
hausted men are climbing the North
face and considering not what they
should, but what they can eat.
In general we are agreed that fresh
food should be obtained whenever pro-
durable Shipton has already carried
this principle to heroic lengths: in
his exploration of the Nanda Devi
Basin in 1884 he and his party sub
sisted for considerable periods on
tsampa (ground and parched barley
bamboo shoots and fungi of edible but
otherwise revolving properties.
In the reconnaissance which he led
last year a scientifically calculated
ration was on the menu, but dried
yeast proved too much even for con-
scientious pioneers, SO Tibetan NUT
ton (even this will surrender its
loneliness in pressure cooker) and
eggs were brought into the rescue
The eggs were boiled or scrambled, in
accordance with their seniority, but
all ranked as fresh food.
40 Eggs Eaten In One Day.
It is reported that three members
Of the expedition devoured 140 eggs
in one day. They have not denied
the accusation.
When our party for this year was
being formed, I was not altogether
surprised to receive nervous inquiries
from q few men as to whether this
food cult was to be continued.
We were taking no risks in the
matter of sugar. Hence the provision
of no less than II ounces q day per
man, In addition to jams and sweets.
That sounds revolving, but am quite
sure there will be no surplus.
am now confident that we shall
not again witness the spectacle Of
fastidious persons throwing food down
the nearest crevasse. No millionaire
could command better provisions
hams, bacon, most kinds Of cereal,
sweets, fruits, jams, stimulants con-
densed and powdered milk and many
other things. Last but not least
navy rum.
Shipton's reaction when first shown
the list is painful to recall, but /
can at least bring this essay upon
food toward its close by divulging a
masterpiece which met with his ap-
proval. and which We owe to the
kindness Of Sir Harry Hague-the pro-
vision of $500 fresh eggs, preserved
by new processi
On these eggs I rely for the ade-
quate rationing of parties during the
assaults on the mountain, for an egg

sterner days. when climbers were less

placed it on record that you must be
in good training to eat and enjoy two
doubtful eggs at o'clock in the
morning.

TENGKYI DzONG, Tibet. April 81
(by airmail via London) .-Napoleon's S
aphorism that an army marches on
its stomach can be applied we'll enough
to a climbing expedition to Mount
Everest, and Tibet is a country in
which Massena himself would have
been hard put to feed his men.
So during the busy months of pre-
pairing, more time and thought were
expended upon the question of diet
even than upon equipment. Equip
ment is reasonably calculable, given
data and experience. Diet presents
au almost infinite number of prob
lens, arising mainly from the idiosyn-
crasies of individuals.
At first sight there is no particu-
lar difficulty. Count your European
and sherpa personnel, assume that
each man will require about pounds
of plain, nourishing food a day, and
multiply by the number of days you
expect to be in the field.
At all but the highest attitudes,
small parties of mountaineers can be-
gin by Giving off the country" and,
when such resources fail, continue
b happily enough on very modest sup
ply of preserved foods. have proved
this to my own satisfaction on many
journeys, and Eric Shipton, who is
on his fourth Himalayan expedition
has reduced it to a fine art.

But Mount Everest demands more
elaborate organization. To begin with
a fairly large party has to be taken,
