THE
Disappearance
E mystery of the sudden dis- appearance of George Mallory, the famous mountaineer, when he whs only a few hundred feet from the summit of Mount Everest, during the expedition' of 1934, is claimed to have been solvet.
Members of the expedition watch- jing Mallory and his companion Irvine through field glasses as they neared the summit, wen: surprised to see the two figures vanish before their eyes:
But Mr. Fronels S. Porter, of Lex- ham Gardens, London, George Mal- lory's friend for fourteen years, and A former schoolmaster at Charter- house,“claims to have had spiritualist conversations with Mallory, and to have learned the truth of the dis appearances.
FROZEN TO DEATH
"Not till six years after Mallory had passed over did I get a mes- sage," Mr. Porter told a Sunday Re- ferce reporter,
"In his first words to me he relived his last moments on the mountain.
"They were in sight of the sum- mit. Then Irvine fell. Mallory went back to him and gave him the last few drops from bis fusk.
"It was too late for them to turn backt. Provisions hod run short. Mallory decided to go on alone, but na he neared the top he suddenly became giddy.
"He was frozen to death and his body blown away and covered with anow."
