KATMANDU, Nepal, June o.
New pickering revolved today
about the conquerors Of Mount
Everest. Since their ascent Of the
worlds highest mountain, the
climbers or their supporters have
been plunged into at least four
wrangles.
Most Of them concern Tensing
Bhutia, the veteran climber from
Nepars Sherpa tribe who made
the final push to the top with
New Zealander Edmund Hillary.
The previous bones of conten-
ton have been:
l. Just who reached the top
f1rst-M Hillary or Tensings?
2. What is Tensing's national
ity- -Nepalese or Indian?
3. What decoration is Britain
going to give the tribesman-the
priced George Cross, the not
nearly-so-valued George Medal,
or something else entirely? /
Hurt by Hunts Remark.
And now. Tensing told news
men after his arrival here, he
"feels hurt" by statements made
recently at a news conference by
Col. John Hunt, the leader Of
the successful British expedition.
Tensing took exception par
ticularly to statements credited
to Col. Hunt that the Asian
climber, although a full member
Of the party, played only a sec
ondary role as leader of the por-
tiers, and that Tensing lis a good
climber within the limits of his
experience.

And yet my leader says my ex-
perience is limited"
Directed Operations.
On the successful climb, he
asserted. 'I practically directed
operations from Khumbu Glacier
onwards, building bridges, Sc
lecting camp sites, cutting steps
and crossing icefalls."
Tensing, Mr.. Hillary and Col.
Hunt all have emphasized they
considered the question Of just
whose foot was first on Everest S
top immaterial-that it was a
team operation.
Col. Hunt. however, said Mr..
Hillary in the final climb was
seen leading most of the way.
Asking, why not give the devil
his due?" Tensing said actually
he was a few steps ahead to the
top, though he emphasized: 1.-THE
credit goes to both. We both
reached the summit almost to-
gether."

Seaman Lost In Sinking

! now went OF to the left and j
wanted to pick up the equipment
we had dumped on the first trip
I continued straight up.
Soon afterwards recognized
the serac shaped like q crescent
moon. I poked round with my
ice-axe for a while and finally
located some compact objects:
the stuff was there. We cleared
away the snow. and sure enough
we found the tent. quite COM
plete, with the food and equip
ment which Lachenal, Rebuffat
and myself had taken up three
days before.
Snow Waist-Deep.
We lifted the lot. and tried to
rejoin Terray's tracks over on
the left. They were so yards
away, but it took us nearly an
hour to reach them, for we had
to make a regular trough, sinking
in up to our waists in the snow.
At last we reached the track
at the foot Of q very steep wall
Of bare and shining ice. The
steps cut by Terray had already
almost melted away and had
to recut the whole pitch.
We were now above the whole
area Of alternate ice walls and
snow slopes. Lifting my head
and looking upwards I saw an
even snow slope in the middle
Of which could pick out Ter
rays tracks.
The weather was still set
hne-not a single cloud-and
the air was dry. I felt in splen-

had found a perfect balance
within myself-waS this, I won-
dered, the essence Of happiness.
Very Steep.
But after all we had still a
long way to go. Like getting
over an enormous obstacle we
climbed up without appearing
to make any progress. The slope
was very steep, and also the
snow began to ball up under our
feet, which made me keep an
extra watchful eye on the
SherpaS.
Every other yard I stopped to
get my breath. Behind me I
could feel the two Sherpas op-
pressed by the tremendous effort
required. From time to time I
looked up to gauge the distance
we had to go. Suddenly spotted
patch of bright yellow-un-
doubtedly Terray's tent.
After an eternity of ploughing
through the thick, treacherous
snow we at last reached his high

but they were carefully wrapped
in a pied d'elephant-a nylon

to protect them from the cold.
I was very pleased to have got
so far, but the site puzzled me.

There could be no question of
re-establishing Camp III on the
slope itself. To the right there
was a deep drop, to the left a
cataract of seracs, on the far

couloir, and SO yards above us,
a very broken-up area began.
Looking at the seracs on the
left, I noticed that the crevaSSes
between them were all blocked
with fresh snow. An idea had
come into my head: why not put
the camp right there in a Gre
vase? Given the height, and
the lay Of the ground, they
would be completely blocked up.
Moreover, the neighboring Seracs
would form a splendid protection
against avalancheS.
Without losing a minute, the
two Sherpas pitched the tents
and prepared tea. That was
enough for one day: we had
achieved our object of establish
ing a permanent Camp III.

$4,000 feet and I couldn't find
the equipment you left-it must
have been completely buried
under the snow. At the point we
got to there was no sign of a
platform. So Pansy and ALA and
I made one with our axes. but
it's far from level, and right in
the middle of slope. The three
of us spent the night in this
tiny shelter with avalanches
coming down all around us.
The Sherpas weren't very
happy and neither was I! After
such a night we weren't fit for
anything but coming down, so
here we are. I'm going back to
Camp to recuperate."
Morale Is Low.
Right" I said. "Couzy and
Schatz are coming up with Ichac
and Oudot to Camp I. so you'll
be able to rest in comfort. Also
this will mean you can make an
extra journey up with a load
these darned loads are always on
my mind"
II left our stuff at $4,000 feet"
Terray continued, probably
further to the left than the
point you reached. Our place is
in the middle of a slope, so yards
to the right of line of seracs."
We were now alone at Camp II.
Neither Lachenal'S nor Rebuff
ats morale was very high: they
were not feeling too good. More
over Terray's remarks about deep
snow hadn't exactly encouraged
them-they had already had a
taste of it on the first trip. I
realized that I must not push
them too hard next day if I
wanted to be able to count on
them later.
There were two Sherpas avail
able, as well as equipment and
the food we had brought up.
Why shouldn't I go on, and try
to establish Camp III, and even
perhaps Camp ~. while the
other two were resting?

time in advance, and after a
series of calculations I felt quite
reassured There was no dam

strength could be concentrated in

decided to leave that afternoon
with Rebuffat for Camp I, with

determined not to come down

After our meal, the weather
began to cloud over, and by $3.50
pm, it was showing. I thought
of Terray who had left Camp I
that morning with two high-alti-,
tude units, plus 20 pounds Of
food, intending to carry on up to
Camp III and spend the night
there.
When we left at about 5 o'clock
1t was showing hard, but never
theless we went up rapidly and
reached Camp I by nightfall.
Quickly we pitched one Of the
valley tents in which we all three
slept. Rebuffat complained again
of his sunburn, and of his lips,
which were very sore.

any one spoke to him he looked
up with dull and anguished eyes.
Rebuffat had stomach pains
which got worse and worse, so
that in the end we had to take
turns carrying his sack.
Drawn-Out Agony.
Progress was very difficult. At
the end Lachenal was practically
dragging himself along: the last
hundred yards to Camp II were
a drawn-out agony for him. He
had stuck a bit of adhesive tape
on to his terribly burned lips,
which gave them a slight protec-
ton. It was the only light col
ored patch on his brown face,
and it looked very odd.
At Camp II we found Terray,
