A copyright message from Mr. Hugh Ruttledge, leader of the Everest Expedition, from tbe north face camp on Sunday, states:—
Messrs. Smythe and Wyn Harris have completed a valuable reconnaissance on the west side of the north col. The heavy snow which is now covering Everest is driving us from this high camp, which was established at an altitude of 20.000 feet. We are descending to Camp 1 at 18.000 feef, and from there will send a detailed report of our conclusions when (he main wireless has been reopened. A cable from Darjeeling states that the expedition is expected to return shortly.
