E. A. Fitzgerald and his companions have left of their climbs. Experienced mountaineers though nearly all of them were, the story of their sufferings is almost appalling. In alti- tudes of 18, 000 feet or more, in which their highest camp was pitched, they suffered alternately from piercing cold at night, and from scorching heat by day. At night sleep was almost impossible. Huddled together, for warmth's sake, in a tent only a few feet wide, unable to breathe by reason of the rarified atmospher...e, they coughed, wheezed, panted, and roared in chorus. Neither could move without awakening any one of his companions, who might happen — fortunate man — to be in a state of uncon- sciousness. When climbing they suffered from giddiness, nausea, headache, collapse of the legs, frost-bite, con- tusions, and a thousand other ills. Zurbiggen, a Swiss guide, had both his feet frost-bitten, and was in imminent danger of losing them, had not his companions, despite his struggles, cries, and curses, caused by the maddening pain, as the blood began again to flow, insisted upon rubbing his ITS LAND AND PEOPLE 99 feet back to sensibility.
