EXCITING CLIMB
DR. BRADSHAW’S NARROW ESCAPE ON ALPS
GRUESOME DISCOVERY
TIMARU, Jan. 10.
Dr. Bradshaw and Guide V. Williams narrowly escaped death when climbing Mount Tasman. At a height of 11,500 feet Dr. Bradshaw slipped, pulling Williams with him. They saved themselves somehow, hut do not know how. They got within 110 feet of the top, and were then stopped ■by a crevasse. They returned to the Hermitage suffering from snow blindness. On the way? back from Malte Brim on Sunday night, on the left hand side of Hockstetter going up from the Ball Hut, they found the right leg and foot of one of a mountaineering party lost in 1914. The whole foot is perfect from the ankle almost up to the knee. The leg is knocked about. The three lost in 1914 were Sydney King, of the English Alpine Club; Dave Thompson, and J. Richmond Quines. The body of the latter was found at the time, and it is not known to which of the other two the leg now found belongs.—P.A.
