THE

EASTER ON MONTE ROSA.

"AS SERVED AT THE NORTH POLE."

Rome, April 23.

The most daring spirits of the Milan Alpine Club made up their minda to apend Easter Sunday an the summit of Monte Rosa, at the Capanna Regina Margherita, the highest mountain hut In Europe, 14.817 ft. above sea level. As a collective climb it has never been attempted before so early in the season, and only Alpinists of known powers of endurance were accepted as candidates. These in- cluded Gianni Albertini, who last summer led the Relief Expedition to the Polar regions In search of the lost airship "Italia," and Signor Chiardola, who took part in the recent Karakoram expedition with the Duca di Spoleto. Three women were also of the party.

Starting on Saturday morning from Gressoney, the Alpinists struggled all day with bad weather conditions, and grew more and more silent as they toiled up the long ascent to the Indren glacier, and on to the Gnifetti hut at a height of 11,700 feet. The most cheerful member of the party was a dog belonging to a frontier Mill- tiaman, which joined the excursion. uninvited with every sign of pleasure, and never flagged. was twelve degrees below zero, when the Gnifetti hut was renched. The keepers of the hut had laid in a store of provisions, to which Signor Albertini added an unex- pected course of pemmican as served at the North Pole.

It

Easter morning dawned fine and clear, and a very early start was, made towards the Ly's glacier on the way towards Capanna Mar- gherita and the glittering peaks of Monte Rosa. A sudden change, a tourmente of snow and wind, and a still further fall in the tempera- ture forced the Alpinists, much against their will, to turn back. They took to their skis and descended as fast as they could to Gressoney.
