ROCSEVELTPARTY PASSES HIALAYAS Members Are in Good Shape, Defer Search for Rare Sheep. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 17.—Search for the ovis poli, the Marco Polo sheep, which is the objective of the James Simpsen - Roosevelt central Aslatic expedition, has been tempo- rarily abandoned, Kermit.Roosevelt, who, with his brother Col. Theodore, is leading the expedition, has written the Field Museum here. The animals, changing wool, are in poor conditlon at this time of the year. So the party, having safely passed across the Himalayas after a hard trip, reaching an altitude of 18, 700 feet, will go first into the Thian Shan Mountains, and return from there to the Pamirs, haunt of the rare animal. Three burrhel, a wild “blue”” sheep of the high Tibetan plains; three Tibetan antelopes and numerous small i birds have been bagged by the party, said letters from Kermit pson, patron of the ex- , and Stanley Field, president of the Field Museum. The personnel of the party are in the best of health, Kermit wrote, al- though the passage of the mountains killed 14 ponies and one of the hest dogs died of sunstroke. Had Hard Work. “We had plenty of good, healthy, hard work,” Kermit wrote from Sanju Dazaar July 5 to Mr. Simpson. “The highest we were was 18,700 feet. It was a relief to get down to more rea- sonable altitudes. For two weeks we were never lower than 15,000, and we came to think of that as 'way down! “We have done well on birds and small mammals, consigering the speed | #\eled of neces- » we have col- and three Ti- betan antel ge.

Ted is in fine shape ’f‘ grand time.” ly 10 from Pasgam to 3, Kermit sald: “The om the great heights to plains was very hard on dogs, although it was most to see trees again after three ith not so much as a stunted at which we hav sity. Of larg lected three #urr Lost Part of Animals. “fherrie (George K. Cherrie, or- nithologist and explorer) made about a hundred bird skins on the way across the passes, representing 40 species. It is too bad that it was impossible to stop anywhere higher up, but we would have lost the ponies; as' it was, we lost 14, 20 per cent of the outfit. “At Yarkand we shall leave Cherrie and Cutting (a_photographer) to go slowly along collecting while we push on to the Thian Shan. We had in- tended to go first to the Pamirs after ovis poli, but the very poor pelage of the burrhel and antelope we shot on the way across, backed up by what the natives told us, convinced us that the poli would now be in such poor pelage as to be practically unfit for mounting. I hope we'll be able to SHIP GOES AGROUND. s dedi b American Steamer Helen BStrikes Storm in Formousa.
