THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
THE ALPINE TRAGEDY. The tale of ,Alpine tragedies in Switzerland and other parts of the world is a lengthy one, and so long as mountaineers are daring, and bent upon pitting their skill against risks and difficulties, it will be added to. But there is a- definite distinction in character and risk between adventurous climbing expeditions and glacier trips such as may be arranged for tourists as part of their Alpine programme. Fortunately in'New Zealand the toll taken by accidents amid the ice and ■ now has been cojin pa l'tively small, although the popularity of our Alpine resorts has been noticeably on the increase. The sad break in this comparative immunity from serious misadventure which, is now recorded occurs in the more poignant circumstances because those who lost their lives were not engaged upon what in normal conditions would rank as a hazardous undertaking. —Otago Times. ,
