A LONELY CLIMB
SINGLE-HANDED UP MOUNT' COOK. .Following upon the recont ascent of Mount Cook by' Mr. Hall and Miss HouldsTvorth, an attempt to do tho climb single-handed is being made by Mr. Samuel Turner, of Lower Hutt. Mr. Turner, who made a traverse of the famous mountain somo years ago, in company with others, has climbed in four Continents. Ho now declares his intention of going up alono. In order that there may be no doubt about his having reached the highest peak, Mr. F. Vosslor, of Wellington, who arrived at the Hermitnge with Mr. Turner, will watch from a neighbouring peak the climber's steady ascent. At the present time, the enow on the mountain is in good order. AVith this favourable condition and fino weather, the scaling of Mount Cook is regarded as being chiefly a question nf endurance. There are no dangerous cliffs and avalanches to be guarded against. Mr. Turner and Mr. Vossler left the Hermitage on Sunday for their base of operations near the Tasmnn Glacier.
