In order to carry on my work on behalf of the bling, it was necessary go keep up my pluck, energy. and determination. Skating, swimming, rowing, riding. have all con, tributed their share to this end, but last: year went to Switzerland to try mountain climbing. The experiment was highly successful. This year 1 went again, accompanied by my wife, Son, and bis Hightess Prince Alexunder George of Hesse, After four weeks’ contin hud ail been carefully studied, and each in its - over snow slopes. on-the glaciers and in various mountain ascents, I went to Chumounix, and without difficulty ; achieved the object of my summer’s excursion. “In company with my son, sith Benoit as my leading guide, I attncked Mont Blanc. At first the guides expected to dtag me up. but I gave them their chuice to leave me to climb in my own way-or give up the undertaking. Iwas re~ solved to make an honest climb or give up the ascent. I took my place on the rope in the or- dinary way, except that the distance between my gon and wyself was only a few feet.

With the exception of cutting very excellent steps for me, the muides durins the ascent did not assist me in any way. I wa: glad to find that the ascent of such steep places Qs the Bosse was much easier than I bad an- ticipated... The cutting of steps required con- siderable time, and allowed me at my leisure to prepare for eath ‘difficult and dangerous step. Besides carrying a strong alpenstock, I always take with me in difficult climbs 2 short walking-stick, which I often’ use in my right hand as an indicator, and to show theskill which it is possible to attain in this way, I may men- tion that I did not miss 8 single step In the en- tireascent.

They turn brought some new. winged bope for the future. It was very cold, and the guides soon reminded us that we must begin the descent.
