CLIMBING EVEREST.
BRITISH EXPEDITION WILL TRY AGAIN. A renewed attack on Mount Everest was foreshadowed by the Earl of Ron aldshay, president of the Royal Geographical in his presidential address to the assembled members of the society in London. In his declaration of war against the world’s highest mountain he said they were far from being discouraged by their first failure, adding that since last year’s expedition had proved that it was possible to establish a camp at an altitude of 25,500 ft. it gave ground for hope that next year’s proposed expedition would be-successful. “ It was not found possible to organise a further attempt upon the peak this year,” said Lord Ronaldshay, “ but that did not imply that man had been beaten by the mountain. Far from it!
“ The experience gained from last year’s expedition will be an invaluable asset to next year’s climbers, and we are hopeful that this asset will bring victory.”
