Dainty and Scholarly. ‘How Annie Smith Peck, slim, dainty, far more scholarly than athletic, and with hardly enough money to hire proper guides and buy the most neces- sary equipment, ever scaled Mount Huascaran has for 21 years aroused the admiration and awe of explorers the world over. But scale it she did, taking pictures Jl the way as evidence that she was there, and in recognition of her achieve- ment _the. Lima Geographic Soclety named the north peak of Huascaran, which she climbed, “Cumbra Ana Peck.,” and the government of Peru gave her a gold medal. It was her sixth attempt—a siege which has been compared to Peary's assau'ts en the North Pole—and when the finally reached the top, she said todav, her first thought was: effort, but shall we ever again?” Descent Proves Rough. ‘They did, but the going was hard. Once, on a steep slope of solid ice, one of her Swiss guides lost his footing, almost dragging the other guide and Miss Peck with him to destruction. One of the guides lost his mittens and parts of both hands and one foot were frozen. Not only because of her conquest of its mountains is Miss Peck's name linked with South America. For years she has been known as an outstanding authority on the continent's social, economic and political conditions, as well as its geography. “I went down to climb mountains, then became interested in the countries and their people,” she said. Starting her airplane trip in Colom- bia, she will fly over Bolivia, Peru and Chile and up over the Andes to Argen- tina, Uruguay. Paraguay and Brazil. get down said today. “That's not interesting.
