TO CLIMB MT. KAMET
PROPOSED EXPEDITION. LUnited Press Association.—By Electrio Telegraph.—Copyright.] (Received this day at 8 a.m.) LONDON, November 26. R. F. S. Smithe a explorer has almost completed arrangements to climb Mount Kamet, four hundred miles west of Mount Everest. After serious deliberation it was decided to omit oxygen from the equipment, considering scientific experiments and practice show the more acclimatised a man is, the less benefit he derives from oxygen as an aid to breathing at great heights. The expedition is going to Bombay in March, and will include the Harrow Master, Holdsworth, Squadron Leader Beaumont, and Doctor Raymond Greene, a former president of - Oxford Alpine Club.
