MOUNTAIN TRAGEDIES
EGMONT’S HEAVY TOLL. A mountain climber points out thatEgtnont has claimed more victims than any other mountain in the Dominion, if not more than all others together. Many years ago an alpine climber suggested that owing to the many ravines and ridges where the tracks were obliterated or madle alike by storm rain, and snow, there should be some guide by which climbers might reach safety.

Now is the opportune time before yet another tragedy brings sorrow in its train.
