Sanitation was unknown; all debrig and refuse to be disposed of was merely thrown a little way from the doorway.

The country on the slopes is of the roughest nature artd the ascent is made from the semi- | tropical temperature of sea-level to the bitterly cold arctic temperature of the peak. None of the party of eight suffered severe hardships except sun- burn, wind burn and blisters, they said upon their return, Your days were consumed in mak- ing the ascent over the lava and the summit was reached so late in the afternoon that it was necessary for the party to spend the night at the top, which was swept by heavy winds. Only two days were necessary to make the descent.
