dication of crawling and it would have been possible for her to walk, although probably painful Because of the coldness of the season and the altitude medical authorities were unable to esti- mate the time of her death. One of her wrists was broken as was the opposite arm, which would have made crawling impossible. She also suffered five fractured ribs, a fractured collar bone and several cuts and scratches about the head.
 Her gloves and hat were mis. sing when she was discovered by the two sailors who entered the ravine to get a drink, and a thor ough but futile search was made for them as it was felt their dis covery might indicate the spot where she had fallen.
 Miss Iske had a dinner engage ment for the Sunday it is believ edishe left on her fatal hike. HeI escort called at her apartment where she lived alone and aftel waiting briefly went on to th' dinner. She had also made an ap pointment with a hairdresser 1T town for the following Wednes day

Woman Hiker's Death Accidental, Inquest Finds

A verdict of accidental death while mountain climbing" was returned by the coroner's jury Saturday at the inquest which followed the discovery Friday of the body of Dorothy Iske, 27, a. bout 1900 feet up the slopes of Barometer mountain.
 The inquest was in charge of Coroner c c Naughton, assist ed by Mary Gregoroff, and the coroner's jury consisted of Fred Jordan, Walter Steilberg, Tom Styles, Billy Poland, M. F. Stew art and Irwin Bowman.
 Miss Iske's body was discover ed about noon last Friday after a 2-day search that had military personnel securing the hills on Thursday and Friday.
 She had not reported to work Monday but it had been assumed she was working in another de- partment and only the fact that it was noted she had not picked up her mail led to the discovery she was missing.
 An experienced h'ker, it is be- lieved she left the base alone the Sunday before for a climb up the slopes of Barometer. None of the testimony at the inquest provid- ed any positive information that she had been seen alive after Sunday.
 Friends and associates of Miss Iske were questioned during the investigation, conducted by nav al authorities and deputy U. s. Marshall Paul Herring, but no evidence pointing to other than an accidental death was discover ed.
 The body was found in a small ravine in a spot that could not have been reached in a fall, and it is assumed she wandered some distance after receiving her injuries. Her clothing gave no in-
