ON THE SUMMIT.—Hans Clival (right), carryinc an lee-pick bearinc the Austrian flag, shakes hands with Karl Reiss, on the sununit of Schieferspitze (slate mountain) in the Himalayas. These two elimbers were members of an Austrian expedition that recently conquered Schieferspitze, after an extremely difficult and dangerous ascent. Lack of funds for the expedition forced the mountaineers to do without the services of Sherpas, so they had to carry all equipment themselves. Karl Reiss lost his life later on the expedition when he fell from the Saipal mountain.
