MT. EVEREST CLIMBERS.
THREE HOURS LOST. POSSIBILITY OF SUCCESS. (Received 10 a.m.) United Press Assn.—B? Elec-tru-Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, August 21. Longland and Wynn-fi arris, the first of the Mt. Everest climbers to reach London, state: “If AVagg and Longland had reached the rocks beneath the cone at 9.30 a.m. instead of 12.30 tlierte was a strong possibility that Everest would have been conquered. A precious three hours had to be wasted in reconnaissance. The climbers all lost two stone in weight, but though previously we thought our appetites had disappeared above 23,000 feet, thanks to scientific acclimatisations we found a large number of foods definitely palatable.”
