THE RONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24TH, 1914.

DISASTER ON MOUNT FUJI..

The Japan Chronicle reports :—A party of members of the Ski Club at Takataj Niigata prefecture, which started to make an ascent of Fujiyama, has suffered disaster, ano man being killed and another injured The party had to abandon the ascent and come down.

It appears that the party started at daylight on Saturday, the 3rd inst., from the Fuyokwan, a hotel at Yoshidaguchi, and spent the night in a cave at the fifth station. At daybreak on Sunday they resumed the climb. As they ascended the temperature went down to 15 degrees below freezing. They found the snow frozen hard and slippery as glass, so that ski could not be used, the party pursuing their weary way with gunjiki. The weather was very fine, so they sent back the guides at 6f-gome, and reached a point just below the 8th station at 11.30.

Here the surface was very slippery, and even in summer time it is extremely dangerous to walk there. The party were not experts at this kind of mountaineer- ing, and Mr. Sakai, cne of the members, who game last but one in the line, slipped and fell, and began to roll down the slope. Mr. Takahashi, the rearmost man, made. a grab at his friend and nearly, rescued him, when he, too, slipped, and the two rolled down together, clinging desperately to one another, When they had rolled down about 1,200 feet, Mr. Takahashi broke his middle finger and let go his friend. In doing so he managed to stop, but Mr. Sakai continued to roll for about 1,000 feet further, ending his headlong career by colliding with a bare rock that projected from the snow. His head came

Mr. Kenai, the feader of the party, called togethum the members, who were quite unnerved at this dreadful experi ence, and they worked slowly down thei snow slope. First they picked up Mr. Takahashi, the injured man, and then went on to where Mr. Sakai lay. As they had feared, he was dead. Both victims of the accident were picked up by their comrades, and brought down to the seventh station. Finding great difficulty in their progress, they tied the body of Mr. Sakai to a rock so that it would not be blown away by the tempestuous winde or covered in a snowdrift, and devoted their strength to the assistance of Mr. Takahashi. The fifth station was reached. safely, and there Mr. Kanni parted from the rest and went on alone down to Yoshidaguchi, where he gave information to the police at 5 pm, on Sunday evening. The superintendent of police, a doctor, The dei reports that the proposal to with about 50 men, want to the rescue of defray Y1,400,000.our of the cost of laying the party on Monday morning.
