HIMALAYAS CLIMBERS
GERMAN EXPEDITION KILLED. [BY CABLE —PEEBS ASSN. —OOPYBIGHT.J (Received July 23, 9 a.m.) CALCUTTA, July 22. All hope has been abandoned of finding alive three German climbers, Merkl, Wieland and Wilzenbach, lost in a blizzard on Nanga Parbat in Kashmir Himalayas. Two British officers, who were lent to the expedition, Captains Sangstei and Frier, have returned to Srinagar. They state the bodies of seven Darjeeling porters have been recovered, but it is impossible to find the Germans yet owing to the weather conditions. All attempts to reach the summit have been abandoned, but every effort will be made to recover all the bodies before leaving the mountain.
