“day; Portions crust, is. still unconquered. : disaster occurred prob- ably @ fortnight ago, full details have ‘not: yet come through. Brief dispatches received» by Sir Francis Younghusband, president = of the Royal Geographical society, how: ever, indicate that the two victims, George Leigh Mallory and A. C. Irvine, succumbed when the climb- ers were ‘caught by’a monsoon, The end came after the explorers had won their way by hard struggles through weeks of terrible blizzards to a position which promised them a chance of success. It is believed the expedition was abandoned. Mallory was with his second Everest expedition, haying engaged in the attempt of 1922, but, Irvine wan a new member of the party. Everest’s peak is 29,002 feet above sea Jevel.. The 1922 expedition was still. 6,000 feet below the summit when forced to abardon the attempt. ) Al England this morning was ing for further information from the ill-fated party. The pub- Me gleaned some satisfaction from the fact that advices from India ro- ported the rest of the party, safe. "Ay thémber‘ of the Alpine club, who is fully conyersant with all the details connected with the ar: Papeaenanta for the expedition, ex- fram: his knowl- , edge of the ,rou! was a great possibility that Mallory and Irvine had encountered an avalanche. He cited the fact that in the 1922 expedition Mallory work- ing. without waygene, reached a point below ‘the projecting of the mountain, while George Finch, another climber, made a de- tour around the nose and reached a point considerable higher than that obtained by Mallory. The partciulars at hand appear- ed to indicate, said the Alpinist, that the party again followed the route of Finch’s detour where they might easily have encountered an avalanche, as the configuration of Everest at this point renders the danger from avalanches especially threatening. He recalled that the mountaineer Mummery and _ the whole of his party were killed by an avalanche on Nanga Parabat, in this region. Apart from the threat of avalanches, he noted, this was the monsoon season and these storms were a source of great dan- rn. e Mallory, a widely known moun- tuineer, wat about 39 years gid, was married.and had two children. Irvine, one of the new members of, the expedition, was a student at Merton college, Oxford, and @ mem- ber of the 1923 crew stroked by the American W. P. Mellen, Last year he was a member of the Oxford ex pedition to Spitzenbers. ‘WORLD FLIGHT PLANE BROKEN Partly overcast tonight’ and Sun- probably showers in northwest Portion: warmer in east and south TWO PERISH “ON EVEREST Third Expedition Is Turned Back In Efforts to Scale Himalayan Giant; Details of Failure Lacking ‘LONDON, June 21.—(By The Associated Press.) — Mount Everest, the great irregular cone in the Himalayas, whose peak constitutes the outermost point on the earth’s The third expedition of intrepid climbers, like its predecessors, has failed, two of theyeeplorers perishing in the final effort.
