Manchester, England. A Manches ter Gnardiau correspondent r at Calcut ta remarks that great interest has been aroused by an attempt to climb jLlount Klnchinjunga, one of the giants of the Himalayas. ; Harold Raeburn, editor of Moun taineering Art, and C. G. Crawford of the Assam civil sevice, both mem bers of the Alpine club, were known to be conducting preliminary explora tions In-the- jhtTpe of -finding an easy access to the summit. More than one skirmish in the vicinity of ; Kinchiujunga was made though the . rains at the time were heapy and the ever-shifting ice fields in the mountains were likely to come down , in ' terrific avalanches, making all climbing Impossible without seri eras risk to life. t , Their explorations led the climbers along the course of the Talung nver, which takes Its rise In the " Talung glacier. Here they crossed streams, the bridges of which had been washed away, and - passed impenetrable for ests,-through which they had to hew their way for several days. Un daunted by the rainy weather, they traveled almost straight north to Pamlonghl, across the Gluchu Pass, li3,480 feet, to the Talung glacier, which Is almost immediately to the south of Klnchinjunga, and there ob tained a glorious view of the moun tains.

The rains, however, were so severe that it was not until September 2 that the two explorers were able to get away. Traveling out by the Sin gallla ridge, they attacked Klnchin junga on the southwest side and ex plored the glaciers. Access to the summit by that direction was found difficult, but the party persevered and eventually camped out at a level of 20,000 feet. Here more difficulties were met and ba d weather . was experienced, Snow began to fall and the expedition be come Increasingly hazardous. jA fur ther thousand feet was overcome, bnt to be at this point the attempt had abandoned. mi i. - - j. we return was maae by a new snow pass about ia000 feet high.

Considerable difficulty was experienced when returning, ow ing to the depth of new snows on the Sikkhim side, which were probably dne to the bad weather experienced in the latter part of September. Finally the party reached Darjeeling in the .mid dle of October, having been away over a month; Both the explorers were greatly Impressed by the peaks, but confident that, given good weath er, the summit could, be ajtained. Attempt Made In 1899. It Is interesting to recall that a similar attempt was made by Douglas W. Freshfleld in 1899. Mr. Freshfleld was led to undertake the exploration by the fact that owing, as he says, partly to 'cost and the difficulty of travel In Sikkhim and partly to the obstacle presented! by the Nepalese frontier, no European had up to the txi uiuiu u.iv .uiouniain. urven sir Joseph flower dhf pot approach near cnopgh tp explore the glaciers of the gtant As for official ! surveys, these, according to Mr. Freshfleld, have "al- ternate.ly ignored and caricatured the glaciers. Mr. Freshfleld did not think much of his tour from a climbing point of view.

"It may not be so easy to get food here," he said, as he thought It over when he was safe In the wall, "but it Is much safer here, for there are so many mice living here that the other fellow ' may be caught when they hunt for me. "When I lived alone In the pantry I was the only one they were after, and hay life was not worth a crumb. I shall stay here as long as I live, and never move again, for all mice look alike .to cats and people."
