EVEREST TRAGEDY.
LATEST DESPATCHES. BY CABLE—PBESS ASSOCIATION—COPYBIGHT LONDON, June 25. The latest despatches from Everest state that native porters saw Messrs Mallory and Irvine on June 7 going strongly towards the summit. They had apparently gained 28,000 feet oh the morning of the Bth. After that there was no news of them, though other members of the expedition endeavoured by signals and flares to obtain tidings. Mr Norton expresses the opinion that the tragedy was due to a simple mountaineering accident, and not to the weather.
