MOUNT EVEREST
PROPOSED BRITISH CLIMBING PARTY
(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Australian & N.Z. Cable Association)
LONDON, Jan. 11. The Royal Geographical Society is organising an attempt to climb Mount Everest, with the assistance of the Tibetan Government, which hitherto has prevented a white man going within forty miles of the moiintain’s base. A reconnaissance will be sent out in 1921 with an aeroplane to explore the approaches, map the ground, and take photographs. The mountain party will probably go to Tibet in 1922.
