But when weaselled this part of the glacier, even Conttet shook kis be. 4 and proposed rather to attempt the old peerage lot the foot of the Aigaille Noire, where De dituesnie left his ladder—a passage avoided by the guides on account of the steep icy slopes it presents, and the great danger which is run from the fritepnalle of stone which, daring the heat of the day, ere dies charged, and roll down from the rooks above. These 'tones are amongst the most dangerous accidents ei glacier travels. A 0.0120, Oren if seen beforehand, may fall in a direction from which the traveller, MN gaged amidst the perils of crevasses, ot on the pre. carious footing of a narrow ledge of rock, cannot possibly withdraw in time to avoid it.

The Bury townspeople hastily removed the coffin of the Queen duchess into the neighbouring church of St. Mary, where it was placed in a rude tomb before the altar, constructed of slabs of stone from the dilapidated • Abbey church, cemented together. The vault stone which had in the Abbey been put immediately over the coffin of Mary Tudor, plain as it was, had hence. forth to do duty as her monument. Upon it eves now may be deciphered "May Queue."

A marble tablet with a modern inscription is now by the wall at the head of the tomb, which at present stands at the right side of the altar at Bt. Mary's Church.
