) OULD-BE prophets continue ’; ?’ to predict the death of the G Sy separate waist. In connec- ,\ A . ’{ tion with this -prophe;y, I b said to a fashionable shopM’f‘/ keeper but a few days age - ~ that complete suits seemed to be in vogue. much to the disadvantage of the woman of limited means who had found in the separate waist a way of making a limited wardrobe appear to best advantage. - “The-separate waist is by no means out,” he replied, “nor do I imagine that it soon will be. We have never carried so large and varied a stock of these garments as we have this winter, nor have they ever been more elaborate.” . And then as proof of his assertions he proceeded to display for my benefit a seemingly countless number of those in his stock. First he showed me a filmy structure of chiffon which forms the foundation on which much beautiful elaboration is built, by transparent lace insertions or incrustations, on which eraduated horizontal tucks of palest . mauve soie de chine, which entirely i compose it, sleeve and all, are hem- § stitched on to the cream chiffon by large lace stitches in white linen thread. It is both a pretty and dainty conceit. The voke is applied, and composed of bands and wee gaugings in line treatment, connected by fine lace stitehings, and here and there enriched by a mauve glace motif inserted. The- cuff is also of this up-to-date lace work, and cut into a cup-like point to hold the fullness of the tucked sleeve. Bretelles of fine ecru lace complete charmingly an already charming confection. In a general way the wide, the extremely wide, tuck is in highest favor. As a rule this three or four inch tuck is 'diagqnal. sometimes it is united to

GCIHe Fashionable Skirt

KIRTS are becoming more /e . voluminous and bouffante, g 3 until one is forced to wonder k\ whether the fashion makers \ﬁ,&w will ey Halt! before the N . : {{%{ woman of small stature is quite lost amid their aiaple folds. I inspected a lace evening toilette the other day. where the skirt was adorped with five graduated volants of lace, beneath each of which were furiher disposed a suppplementary lace and two thiffon flounces. Toaccentuate the width yet more, numerous fussy little net frills were sewn into the lining from hem to knee, imparting an early Victorian outline to the whole. o * Then the latest versions of the short jupe for morning and country wear, aided by the introduction of a stiffened lining at the hem, stand well away from the feet all around. Hitherto they have erred in the opposite direction, by looking rather “mean,” on aecount of their marked propensity for clinging about the heels of the wearers. Some people still affect to be nervously apprehensive of the crinoline’s resuscitation, but these fearful ones chiefly belong.l fancy, to the not-unknown few who rather enjoy giving themselves and their friends a small fright oecasionally for the sake of variety. G 2 The triple or threg-tiered skirts are being made in many cases with plain tabliers to preserve the straight-fronted aspect, which is at once abolished by the application of circular volants. A close row of cloth or silk buttons forms a nice finish for the side seams of the tabiier, which are apt to look a little abrupt and hard if left quite wWnadorned,

~« BN the matter of fashions we =55 by no means always follow éi (i,] either Parisor London. More Ri - than six months ago we disU carded the tight veil, but (:fjb Paris and London are just now beginning to realize the added attractiveness of the loose veil, and it is: being rapidly adopted by fashion's devotees in both pldces, and in fact all over the continent. - We trimmed the majority of our summer hats with the loose veil, and we are following miich the same style in végard to our winter millinery. The illustration shows the two approved modes of wearing the beautiful filmy lace veils, now so essentially a part of evefy wardrobe.

Quite Encouraging. They had been talking as they walked. She had remarked parenthetically, “Oh, it must be terrible to be rejected by a 2 woman.” ; : “Indeed it must,” was his response.

the main edifice of the blouse. This is the treatment of the first blouse shown me. Another horizontal treatment is of palest azure soie de chine, and practically fashioned in a double tier of widely tucked filmy frills, united by a transparent heading of pointed medallion ecru lace, the p’oints drooping over the flounces. The yoke is again formed of transparent designs, composed of wee bands of the material and lace stitchings enriched with guipure and French dots. e Still ‘another is decollete and also of palest blue, though this time crepe de chine is the chosen fabric. The fringed shawl bertha is its leading note, and the union of Valenciennes lace with the fringe is a singularly happy one, and likely to be lasting, I fancy. The elbow sleeves have inner ones of accordion plaited and lace edged blue chiffon. As to the pretty little slips that came tripping out to greet me and show how entirely desirable and suitable - they were for table d’hote and home occasions, they were many and alluring. Par example, a vivid accordion plaited geranium brilliante had a transparent ecru lace yoke garnished with wee bands of graduated black velvet. Ivory point d’esprit or Paris nets embellished most charmingly with d’Alencon lace, all silk openworked and motif enhanced. A sunray plaited mauve soft silk of cld Nippon had- a plaited, pointed, shawllike yoke extension, inserted with a very pretty imitation Maltese lace. A demi-toilette black crepe de chine blouse I saw had wide sloping tucks and a smart series of mitred tabs for its frontal adornment. ; I was convinced, and so may you be, that the separate waist is not a thing of the past. :

while stitched tabs are often requisitioned for the same purpose on the more habille costumes. Frocks of the princess genre are being revived for afternoon and evening wear in Paris, and Parisi-

La Mode’s encouragement of this vogue to adopt them with immense ardour.-

It was left for Paris, however, toname the hours at which the two styles should be worn. The round veil is considered the appropriate one for afternoon wear. For this chiffon is the approved material, and to arrange it satisfactorily it should be run on a thread, and then fixed around the brim of the hat in the manner shown, taking care that it is of sufficient length to fall quite free and away from the face. According to Paris we should not adopt the style of wearing the veil thrown back over the hat, as shown in the other sketch, except for morning wear. For this mode a veil of more texture and elaborateness may be used, and it may be quite lacey in appearance. ELLEN OSMONDE.

THE MAN-EATING CLAM. Thrilling Tale Related b’y a Returned Voyager from the South Pacifie. ' ) Sailors are proverbially fine romancers. One who returned recently from a voyage in the south Pacific tells this story of a narrow escape from death when caught in a living trap on one of the little islands there: “The ship,” he said, “had stopped at the island for water and I was walking along the beach at low tide, looking for shells and other sea curiosities.. I reached a rock which at high tide was under water and started to climb around it, without thought of danger and without paying much attention to the surroundings. As I turned the corner of the rock I felt my foot slip on something soft; there was a snap and the next instant I discovered that I had carelessly walked into one of the great mollusks, or sea clams, which are to be found at low tide along the coasts of those islands. “These -clams are over three feet in diameter and the muscles which hold their great shells together are like steel springs. When I stepped into the open clam the two shells shut up with a snap, imprisoning me as in a vise. “The edges of the shell caught me above the knees, and at first I thought I would faint from the pain. Then I tried to push the shells open. I might as well have tried to pry open the doors of a locked iron safe with my bare hands. “I had a clasp knife, and drawing this out I attempted to cut the musele which held the shells together. But I couldn’t quite reach it, and every time I made a stab the shells would close tighter than ever. g

“I’d sailed the seas a good many years and been in bad places before; but never one where things looked so hopeless as they did then. There was no use in calling for help, although, of course, I did, for I had wandered up the beach nearly a mile from where the rest were. “What what at first looked like my greatest peril proved my salvation in the end. The tide was coming in, and unless I could escape from this living trap I would be drowned, I thought. So I redoubled my efforts with the knife. They were useless. The tide kept creeping up. Then it finally reached the part of the giant clam where was the muscle which contracts and expands the two shells. To.my surprise and joy, when the water reached this musele is relaxed, only a little to be sure, but enuogh so that I could manage to pull out. my leg. It was the tightest squeeze I waseverin, you may believe.” : - We all know the clam-eating man, but this is the first heard of a man-eating clam. .

HISTORY OF COACHING. Its Introduction and Popuinri‘ty in European Countries and : 5 Ameriea. . As popular as coaching is 'in socme parts of the country but little reliable information has ever appeared in the public press respecting its histery and development. At the town of Kotze in Hungary, in 1457, the first coach was constructed. This was soon afterwards presented to Charles VII. at Paris. The first authentic record of a stage coach in England shows that six of such vehicles were in use there in 1662. So popular did they become in that country that a few years later they were in general use on all the principal roads of the kingdom, writes Morris E. Howlett, in Illustrated Sporting News. Steam railways have, to a large extent, done away with the use of the coach as a link in the commercial chain, but, as a means of furnishing the highest type of recreation, the coach and four is as popular to-day in the British empire and Franceas it was when this was practically the only means of locomotion in those countries. Stage coaching in America was almost coextensive with the settlement of the colonies, and in the early history of the country there were few if any places, of any importance, that did not welcome the sound of the coachman's horn as one of the faseinating incidents of pioneer life. As civilization pushed itself westward, the stage coach was ever in the lead of these agencies which blazed its pathway. These vehicles, as well as their equipments, were comparatively crude in their construction, and unpretentious in their appointments, but they were intended and laid the foundation for the popularity of coaching as a pleasurable pastime, developed in later years. : Coaching parties had been popular in England and France for several generations before they were introduced in this country, yet the sport is so wholesome and enjoyable that it cannot be doubted that in time it will become as popular here as it is across the Atlantic.

CHANGES IN TYROL TRAVEL. Old Hotel Books in Post Towns Are Full of Interest for Tourists. If anyone wishes to get an idea of the extraordinary revolution that has taken place in traveling in the Tyrol during ‘the last half century, or since the opening of the Tyrolese railways, let him stop at an old post town, go to an old hotel and ask to see the old hotel books containing the names of travelers. It is a perfect revelation, says the New York Herald. Such an old post town is Prixen, in the Elsakthal, 25 miles north of Botzen. It used to be the chief station between venice and Innsbruck. In Brixen there are two hotels, each from 400 to 500 years old, the Goldner Adler and the Eliphant. The Goldner Adler has lost its old hotel books, but the Eliphant has them, going back as far as 1820. It used to have three books of even earlier periods, but they were stolen by autograph hunters, and even this book of 1820 and subsequent years has been tampered with and some autographs cut out. Examining this book, we find that almost every name from year’s end to year’s end is English. The majority, too, are titled names. As one comes down toward the ’sos there are a few names of Austrians and Germans among the English, but very few. The railway through this Elsakthal was opened in 1867. Immediately thereafter foreigners’ names increase and English names diminish. As weapproach nearer our own time this change becomes more marked, until we reach the present time, when things are completely reversed, and the book contains page after page of the names of those of continental nations, and hardly the name of one Englishman. In the old posting days only English people, with their “family coaches,” traveled across the continent. Now everybody travels. Here are some of the names of travelers of 1820 and the immediate succeeding years: Lady Alvanley, Sir Robert and Lady Inglis, Ladies Brabazon, Hardy and Elenburgh; Capt. and Mrs. Beauchamp, Lord George Hill, Sir Alexander Hope, Sir Edward and Lady Tucker, Sir J. B. Johnstone, Lady Elizabeth Fielding, Cal. Ralrymple, M. P.; Sir John Prescott, the marquis of Abercorn, Sir James Stopford, Viscountess Keith, Lord Falkland, Sir Henry Seton, the earl and countess of Moray, Lord and Lady Erskine, Lord Clifford and the earl of Edgecumbe.. Some of these are, of course, now historic names. An interesting autograph is the following: “1#36, Sept. 14th, Major v. Moltke.” srixton is a quaint old place at the junction of two rivers, the Elsak and the Rienz, and the hills on each side afford both good walking and hard climbing. It is famous, too, as a sanitarium. - One not infrequently sees a man going about without stockings and boots, with only sandals on his feet and without a cap. They are residents or patients in the Kneipp water -cure establishment. .

SOMETHING OF A PROBLEM. He Had an Intellectual Family, But * He Had to Hustle for Them., ‘ “Yes, sir,” said Mr. Gillingberry, relates Judge; “I guess I've got one of the intellectualest familtes in these parts—always takin’ up with something that calls for the exercise of the mental powers to their utmost.” “Is that so?” politely murmured the other man. = “You bet. Now, there’s mother. She's upstairs this mornin’ with a set 0’ newspaper puzzle-pictures, an’ if she solves ’em an’ writes a good serial story to go along with ’em she gets at least a dollar; an’ my daughter Lizzie is coverin’ the dinin’-room floor with sheets o’ paper that she’s been figurin’ on tryin’ to find out how old Ann is; an’ Henry, he’s determined to work the pigs-in-clover puzzle with three shakes an’ a wriggle of his hand : an’ Jim—that’s Jim over by the fence —he’s studyin’ up a new way to work the 15 puzzle. He’s worked on that for ten years an’ thinks he's pretty near got it.” ; “But you—what problem are you devoted to?” “Who—me? My problem? Oh, I work out the puzzle of keepin’ the family together.” : The Helpful Eucalyptus., The several varieties of the eucalyptus tree, of which there are about 150, are held by foresters to be unequalled as a forest cover, as windbreaks, as shade trees, as a source of timber, fuel, oil and honey, and as improvers of climate. The tree has already served more aesthetic and utilitarian purposes than all other forest trees that have been planted on this continent.

TRADE OUTLOOK GOOD. Seasonable Weather and Holiday Purchases Act as a Stimulant to Business. _ New York, Nov. 28.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: Seasonable temperature and holiday purchases stimulated retail trade, making results more satisfactory during the past week than at any recent date. Improvement was most conspicuous in heavy wearing material and kindred lines that have remained dull because of the mild weather. In view of the numerous wage reductions there is noteworthy harmony between employers and workers, indicating that labor leaders appreciate the necessity of sharing in the readjustment. Grain shipments increased with the approaching close of navigation on the lakes, and freight traffic was subjected to the greatest pressure of the season. Railway earnings for three weeks of November averaged 5.2 per cent. lower than last year. : Business is by no means brisk, nor is‘there any expectation of wholesome activity during the remaining weeks of this year, yet there is evidence of returning confidence with the lapse of time. : Failures this week numbered 258 in the United States, against 213 last year, and 14 in Canada, compared with 16 a year ago. New York, Nov. 28.—Bradstreet's says: Continued cold weather has offered. . a needed stimulus to retail trade in all seasonable lines, but particularly in clothing and wearing apparel. This in turn is reflected in better reorder business with jobbers at interior centers, who also note more interest in holiday goods, fancy groceries, furs and kindred lines. In wholesale trade features are the rather stronger tone of cotton goeds, which are held more firmly by agents, and a little better feeling in woolen goods. Firmness of prices of agricultural products is another element which is to be taken account of. The agricultural interest and those intereSted in distributive trade seem at present to be having their inning, and appear well situated, whereas the manufacturing and industrial branches send forth nearly all the ' pessimistic reports. The prosperity of the grain and food producing populations north and west, and of the cotton, lumber and naval stores interests at the south, is, in fact, the chief basis for the conservative confidence in the general business outlook expressed by many observers.-

BOGOTA EXCITED. Talk in the Colombian Capftal of Raising an Army—Panama Junta " to Ratify Treaty. ‘Washington, Nov. 28.—The state department has advices by cable from Minister Beaupre, at Bogota, dated November 25, in which he states that considerable excitement still prevails at the Colombian capitol; that there is much talk of raising an army, but no troops have yet been enlisted, and that there are rumors in the city of a revolution in the state of Caucadirected against the Marroquin government. Rumors have reached the state department from another source that Gen. Reyes’ mission to Washington is primarily to try to array opposition senators against the ratification of the Bunau-Va-rilla-Hay canal treaty. : M. Bunau-Varilla, the minister from Panama, called at the state department Friday and officially notified Acting Secretary Loomis of the action taken Thursday by the Panama junta in deciding to ratify the canal treaty as soon as it reaches them. He expressed himself as having no fears of an invasion of Panama by an army from Colombia, and explained the utter impossibility of an: expedition overland. : When asked if he would receive Gen. Reyes and those accompanying him to Washington, the minister said he would do so, if a request for a conference is submitted, but he was unable to . see wherein it would be fruitful of results, ‘because,ashe put it,“Panama had served the meal, and it has been eaten.”

CLEVELAND SAYS NO. Declares That He Will Never Again Be a Candidate for the ; Presidency. New York, Nov. 28.—Grover Cleveland Friday declared that under no circumstances would he accept the nomination to be president of the United States for a third term. This declaration is made in a letter to St. Clair McKelway, editor of the Brooklyn Eagle. Accompanying the publication of the letter is an editorial in which Mr. MecKelway says the declination of Cleveland makes Judge Alton B. Parker the logical candidate for the presidency on the democratic ticket. The letter is in Cleveland’s own handwriting and was written at Princeton on last Wednesday. Vlr. Cleveland says that his determinaion is unalterable and conclusive.

Winnipeg, Man., Nov. 28.—There is evidently no truth in the report from McLeod, Alberta, that a Piegan Indian had killed seven of the tribe at that place. David Lacid, Indian commissioner, 'says the department has no knowledge of such a massacre. On Humane Mission, Washington, Nov. 28.—The treasury department has issued instructions to the revenue steamer “Rush,” at Sitka, to proceed to sea in search of the possible survivors from the steamer Discovery, which is supposed to have foundered in Behring sea over two weeks ago. . Miners Go to Texas. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Nov. 28.—Four car loads of miners, numbering nearly 200, with their families, left this vicinity for Thurber, Tex., where a new soft coal field is opening up. Some 300 more will leave within the next month.

- THANKSGIVING DAY, Appropriate Observances Are Re« corded in America and in i : European Capitals. Washington, Nov. 27.—The president spent the greater part of Thanksgiving day with his family and personal friends, devoting only a few minutes in the early forenoon to the duties of his office. He left the white house about ten o’clock in a carriage accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt. They were driven to the suburbs, where they joined a number of {riends in an extended horseback ride, from which they did not return until luncheon. The afternoon was spent at the white house. The day was quietly observed throughout the city. Neither house of congress was in session and all the departments were closed. Detroit, Mich., Nov. 27.—Nine religious denominations joined in a union Thanksgiving service at the Detroit opera house Thursday, that was attended by a congregation which taxed the capacity of that auditorium. Ministers of the following creeds participated in the service: ' Congregational, - Roman Catholic, Episcopalian, Jewish, Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, Unitarian and Universalist. e London, Nov. 27.—Thanksgiving day was celebrated by the American society in London at a banquet given at the Hotel Cecil Thursday night. There were over 400 covers. William Jennings Bryan was the guest of horor.

Berlin, Nov. 27.—Three hundred members of the American colony here attended a Thanksgiving banquet at the Kaiserhof Thursday.night. Ambassador Tower, who presided, .proposed toasts to President Roosevelt, Emperol William and the German royal family. Prof. W. A.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Nov. 28— Thanksgiving day was observed here as a general holiday in accordance with the governor's proclamation. ° Havana, Nov. 27.—Thanksgiving day was celebrated-in the customary man,'ner by the American residents of Havana.

- THE INDIAN BUREAU. - Commissioner Jones Says the Red Man Must Learn That He Must Worlk or Starve. Washington, Nov. 24.—The annual report of Commissioner of Indian Affairs Jones advocates the education of the Indian in the rudiments of the English language and that he be taught that he must work or starve. The commissioner thinks this policy in a generation or more will regenerate the race, and that the Indian should be protected only to the extent that he may gain confidence in himself, leaving nature and civilized conditicns to do the rest. There were 257 Indian schools in operation during the year, 91 being reservation boarding schools, 26 non-reservation, and 140 day schools. The enrolment of pupils was 24,357, and employes numbered 2,282. Mr. Jones strongly denounced the “sun” and other “religious” dances of the Indians and says that sworn reports of eye witnesses of these performances show they are revolting in the extreme. A total of $757,173 has been paid to the Indians for their| inherited lands under the act of May 27, 1902.

CAPTURES MORO POSITION. Gen. Wood Inflicts Heavy Loss to Jolo . Rebels—No More Opposition Expected. Manila, Nov. 25.—Gen. Wood captured the Moro position in the hills of Jolo, north of Taglibi, on the 20th inst. and destroyed the earthworks they had thrown up there. Private Martin Brennan, of the Fourteenth cavalry, was killed during the engagement, and two privates were wounded, one seriously. The loss on the Moro side is known to have been 75, probably more, as the ground is covered with brush and bodies are hard to find.

- FAIR TREASURY EXHIBIT. Great Amount of Wealth Exposed Une guarded at a Recent Bos- ; ) ton Display. “Money, money, everywhere; but not a cent to spend.” This is not the translation of the Latin words which surmount the exhibit of the United States treasury at the fair in the Mechanics’ building, but it might well be. Over in a corner of the main hall this feature of the big exhibition has for three weeks attracted much attention from every visitor, reports the Boston Transcript of recent date. Protected by only a low rail, here is one of the big coining presses which the government uses to stamp out its metal money; and without any greater pro--tection are three big frames where are displayed behind glass United States currency, bonds, and other paper securities.of the face value of above $lOO - 000. - 3 B But while the press is a constant temp‘tation to the professional counterfeiter, and while $lOO,OOO is enough to make every visitor to the fair stop and look and speculate what he or she would do if all that money was his or hers, Treasury Agent Downing, who is in charge, walks calmly off to his luncheon at noon, and as calmly to his hotel at night, without ever locking up his treasure,-or looking back to see if some bold thief is not aiready making away with it. The coining press weighs a matter of-seven tomns, and its theft would be no vest-potket affair, but how about the bills, in denominations of from one dollar all the way up to the $lO,OOO variety. which rests behind no more secure cover than a sheet of glass? Scarcely is there an hour in the day when there is not a crowd of people around the exhibit, and casting curious - and oftentimes envious glances at the crisp-looking new bills. What would be the resuit of a well-directed brickbat, a quick grab for those big $lO,OOO gold certificates, another for the $lO,OOO silver certifieates and several more kinds of $lO,OOO "bills, not to mention the small fry, from $5,000 down? Or Supposing some burglar carried away the whole frame. full, with its $lOO,OOO and more in government paper? " '~ To begin with, what could the thief do with his-$lO,OOO bills? What could he buy with them? Who would change one for him? Not the banks, nor the cashiers of any of the department stores. No more could he use the $5,800 bills, nor the $l,OOO bills. Only when he got down to-the comparatively small notes, 100 or less, could he try to spend them without almost certain detection and capture. . But Mr. Downing is not taking chances-on even the one and two-dollar bills. 'He knows that the bills which are shown are printed only on one side, and -that the impression is made upon bond paper with its silk fiber, ~which ex-Gov. Crane makes by secret processes up ,in the Berkshires. -The ‘thief would find himself possessed of i some of the finest impressions of the finest steel engraving in the world. ‘but it would not buy him a cupful of coffee or a ham sandwich—the whole } $lOO,OOO worth of it. The exhibi# is that which was originally made up for iue - Columbian exposition of Chicagn jin 1893, and wherever it !1:@-»"’?)6&,'&”?'1? L it has compelled attention.

LOVE THEIR KING AND QUEEN. The So‘vereip:us of Rome Are Held in . High Esteem by Their Faithful Subjects. The Romans are quite ready to believe all the good possible of their king and queen, but are brought very little into real contact with them. In the country in the summer it is different, however. Then their majesties mix among the people as much as possible, and try to learn their point of view, while maintaining their own incognito. Recently they were motoring, and were suddenly overtaken by a very severe storm, gossips the Pall Mall Gazette. They, together with Gen. Brusati, who accompanied them, took refuge in the nearest house, which proved to be that of a public school teacher. They were most cordially received, being takefi for some gentlefolks from Turin. - Night closed in, and still the storm maintained its fury, so that they were invited to partake of the simple dinner of the household, which they did with such mutual pléasure that the schoolmaster declared that the king might have been a professor, he talked so cleverly; and the king saidthat notmany men had the brain of his host. They parted with mutual expressions of pleasure. - The day following a much grander personage than his master presented himself at the schoolmaster’'s house, saying he had been sent by their majesties to thank him for the hospitality received and to deliver several pareels. . It was only then the "simple man understcod to whom he had given shelter. i The .queen is always looking for ways to benefit others. One. day, from a terrace of the castle, she saw Tome men cutting hay, and immediately» ordered wine and food to be taken to them. - Later she descended for a walk ‘and, passing near the spot, stopped to speak to the mowers. They were very much affected, and as they had nothing to offer her majesty, one old man, stooped, and, picking a wild filower, presented it to his queen, “In the name of all of us.” T Extraordinary Pedestrianism. - Tasmania has recently supplied an extraordinary story due to the walking eraze that has swept over Europe and the British colonies. There 40 competitors entered for a prize offered by a firm of whisky manufacturers. The route was. to the summit of the Pinnacle, the highest peak of Mount Wellington, ~which forms a picturesque background to Hobart, the Tasmanian metropolis. - In spite of the inclement weather the competitors started from the city at two o’clock in the afternoon clad in light walking costumes. Half way up the mountain they encountered a heavy snowstorm. Search parties found two of the competitors frozen to death, others rigid with cold, some ‘temporarily demented and others who ‘had lost themselves. Few succeeded in reaching the Pinnacle. The one who was adjudged the winner covered the 18 miles in two hours and 40 mine utes. : e v
