Thrilling Account of a Two DayB' Journoy On the Mountains,
GKNEVA, Aug. '24, '91.—Our trip by carriiigo from Mnrligny, over the Teto Noir Pass to Chamonix was one of tho richest experiences in all this feast of good thingB.
Martigny is little viUnge nestled down among tho mountains, tho terminus of tho railway lino in this direction. It contains nothing of interest except an ancient Konian fortress, which stands on a jutting ledge of the steep mountain just in front. Wo arrived in tho evening and encountered weeping skies and low-hanging clonds which did not promise well for our trip ovor tho next day. Tho evening was delightfully sjKjnt in tho parlors of the hotel with recitations, music, etc., by different members of our party, for you must know that wo hiivo much talent among us and can got up a most creditable en tortuinment at short notice. Our first glance out of the window next morning was rather depressing. Still tho pour ing rain and low-hanging Clouds. Tho weather clerk who had boon so wonderfully propitious to us nil through our trip, seemed about to desert us at last. As the party gathered one by one the '(uestion was "to go or not t.o go." We must confess that the prospect was gloomy and tho majority wore on the negutivo sido—they could not, would not brave such weather in carriages over tho steej) mountains. Other braver spirits, your correspondent among the number of course, declared in favor of Chamonix, let tho woather be what it would. The idea of coming to Europe, so near, and not seeing Chamonix and
Mont Blanc was preposterous. Of cotirso wo would go. Our gonial conductor, recognizing the freo agency of man, and women too, in this instance consented that tho party should divide, tho faint-hearted going by rail direct to Geneva, while a bravo little band of fourteen were tucked into carriages, en veloped in waterproofs, etc., and started on tho journey ovor the mountains After leaving tho little village our way wound up the steep sides, climbing, climbing all the time. Only a gentle mist was now falling, the clouds looked lighter and our spirits rose accordingly J5y and by tho blue sky appeared, we had lovely views of tho valley below and tho Bnow-capped peaks surrounding us. Immediately around us our way was literally strewn with flowers of almost every color and varioty, interspersed with a small green vino covered with seurlet berries, similar to our partridge berry or wintergreen.
About noon wo reached tho summit above tho Pitas, whero wo stopped for short rest, and wo felt already richly repaid for coming. It was quite clear now, only fow lleecy clouds lingering above tho snow-cupped peaks, that rivaled them in whiteness. The sky was of tho richest blue, tho sun shining brilliantly and tho air so deliciously cool and pure and swaet that it seemed an exquisite pleasure just to live and breatho. Tho viow on every sido was enchanting. We cannot linger long, howovor, and aro again on our way and begin tho descent into tho Teto Noir Pass. Our road is hung like a thread in a narrow ledgo around tho almost perpendicular sides of tho mountain. Below us on tho right is a valley through which rushes a mountain str.eam, with one or two nice hotels arid a few cottages on its sido. On our loft rise tho massive brown rocks of tho Teto Noir (Black Head), while hero and thero through a rift, or ovor the smooth sido, tumbles a waterfall. Theso little falls aro a most beautiful feature of the scouery. Wo soo them on every side, caused by tho melting snows on tho Peaks, nnd as they tumblo over the perpendicular rocks, sometimes thousands of feet, they are dashed into a fine spray that makes them look liko misty bridal veils. Now wo pass through a tunnol cut through tho solid rock that jnts out as wo make a sharp curve. About one o'clock wo stop for luncheon at a nice hotel by tho roadsido. Such hotels aro moro numerous than one would think away tip amid theso Alpine solitudes, and surely nothing over tasted better than tho substantial ineal provided for our appetites woro sharpened to unusual keenness by tho freBh cool air. Aftor luncheon we descended a narrow, stoep path back of tho hotol 2,500 foot to soo tho Mysterious Bridgo or "Pont Mystoriour," as tho French call it. The mountain torrent had cut a deep gorge through tho rocks and camo rashing and whirling down—now in cascados, now in torrents all dashed into white foam. Across this a hugo boulder from the cliff above hnd fallen, forming a natural bridge. It must have been many years ago for mosses, ferns, and small trees aro growing over it. It is many feet above the rusliing stream and stops have boen jnade benoath and all
around where wo can get good views of the wild, picturesque scene. We had a steep climb back to our hotel but felt well repaid.
We resume our journey which takes us through just tho wildest, grandest scenery among these graml mountains. Wo exhaust all tho adjections in the English language in endeavoring to express our admiration, and even coin new ones ffir tho occasicn.
Tho air grows keener and cooler as we near tho glaciers and snow-covered peaks. Wo have need of all our wraps and even deprive our driver of one of his blankets to wrap in. Of one view, especially, we took a mental photograph which will never bo effaced. As we turned a sharp curve wo saw immediately in front of us and seemingly not far away, a long, snow-covered mountain, whose top was a series of sharp pinnacles These, outlined against tho deep blue sky, were pathed in rich glow of tho setting sun. Tho sides wore framed in the green verdure of tho peaks near l.v, and a hugo grncier formed by its melting snow camo down almost to our feet. Tho name of tho mountain was Dent du Mido (tooth of Midday) and nothing could have been grander or more beautiful.
About dust in tho evening wo came into tho valley, and then to the village of Chamonix. Mont Blanche, at whose foot it is situated, was still swathed in clouds. Liko tho mighty monarch that ho is ho emerges from his panoply only at rare intervals, and shows his snow-crowned head to only a favored few.
Wo learned on our arrival at the hotel of a sad accident that had occurred the day before.
Two parties had boon organized to make tho assent. The one consisting of tho Count de Pavewav, from Paris, with two guides, of Chamonix, ami the other of Herman Kotlie, who was likewise accompanied by two guides, Simon Michel and Counto Armaud, also belonging to Chamounix. They started from Chamounix at halt past six Ihnrsday morning, the weather at that time being fair. At first the two expeditions proceeded seperatoly but joined forces before arriving at the Grand Mulcts, which was reached at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Hero, in accordance with tho usual practice in assembling tho mount (which cost Sr0 each person for guide and outfit, etc.) the two parties spent tho night, which was exceedingly stormy, tho force of tho wind nt this attitude being simply terrific. By morning, however, tho gale seemed to have blown itself out, and the Alpinists contiuued tho assent to the summit. AB on tho previous day, tho two parties proceeded separately and met once more at the ballot rofugo. By this timo the sky had again bocomo overcast, and the general aspect looked threatening. Tho party waited some timo at tho shelter in tho expectation that the weather would clear sufllciently to enable thorn to attain tho summit. In fact it was not until nearly three o'clock in the afternoon that all hope of reaching the top of this grand mountain was abandoned. Provision began to give out and as the weather showed no sign of improvement, but rather grew worse, as tho afternoon grew on, it was decided on advice of the guards to return to tho Grand Millets. When tho party left tho sholter tho wind was actually blowing down the mountain in fierce gusts. Tho unfortunate men were hemmed in, they must change to a more safer quarter below and so thoy started down when one of tho worst of theso squalls struck tho climbers just as they reached the Petit Plateau, which is generally held to bo ono of tho most dangerous portions of tho assent. At tho same moment there was a a sudden avalanche of ico and Bnow, and tho two members of the party Hotlie, and Michel, his guide, were hurled into a deep crovasso, and dashed to pieces.
Arising early the next morning nnd going into the yard of tho hotol we had a look through tho hugo telescope
which iB alwaj'T pointed toward tho mountain, and had tho good fortuno to see Mont Blanc, unveiled in all his glory, the morning sun shining in his round, snow-covered head. It is 10,000 foot high and it seems indoed to pierco tho skies. Wo also saw through tho telescope. (No trace of them was visible to tho naked eye.) A rescuing party of five men tied together with ropes with their picks, etc., ascending the mountain to find and recover if possible tho bodies of tho unfortunate men who mot thoir death tho day before. Wo learned few days afterward that thoy wore successful and that tho bodies, badly crushed and disfigurod, woro convoyed to their sorrowing friends.
Aftor breakfast, our party, mounted njwn mules, started to explore tho Mor-de-Glaco. It was nn almost perpendicular ascent of ovor two hours. Wo can't say tlint wo admire tho gait of. a mule, especially on such an inclined piano. Thoy also had a propensity to stop ovory fow moments and nibble tho grass right on tho edge of a precipice whero another stop would have landed us many hundreds of feet below. If it had not boen fot tho guides who accompanied us wo doubt if wo should have boon here to toll tho talo. In spite Of difficulties wo arrived safely at the top. A fine hotel is Bituated away up hero on a little plateau. From this wo descend a fow hundred feet and aro on tho Mor do Glaco (sea of ico.) It resembles

nothing so much as tho ocean, if its waves, when tossed into foam by a stiff breeze, could be suddenly frozen solid Tt is over a mile in width and several miles in length, and lies between two towering peaks. Ticking our way by means of steps cut in the ico to about tho center, wo group ourselves and are photographed by the two artists of our company. And then, as it is tho Sabbath and wo have no opportunity for other service wo sing "Old Hundred," "My Country 'tis of Thee," and "Nearer My God to Thee," most touching and appropriate for the time and place. Wo wore indoed nearer to tho bine vault, whore we are taught to lioliovo tho Deity has Uis abiding place, than over before.
The descent was even more difficult than the ascent and we preferred to foot it part of the way. Knowing tho propensity of a mule to elevate the near portion of his anatomy wo were fearful that tho temptation might prove too great, especially as the lay of the ground so naturally assisted him. They were piite sober, sensible mules, however, and thoir only divergence from tho line of duty was to nibble everything that camo in reach. We had a most beautiful viow going down of the vale nnd village of Chamonix. It looked liko a beautiful mosaic, with its cluster of picturesque houses, surrounded by smooth, green fields, laid out in little squares and patches of different colored grass and grain, the whole framed in the toworing mountains.
Tho clouds gathered again before wo reached tho lovel and we could plainly see it snowing on the mountain just opposite. We escaped, however, with a slight sprinkle of rain and got into tho hotol just in timo to escape a hoavy shower. We left for Geneva by stage in tho afternoon, arriving about 7 o'clock in tho evening, and hero I will bring my letter to a close as I fear I have already exceeded the limit. iv:
