the McPhee Pass. On reaching the top we beheld a most wonderful sight. Stretched out before us was the great high- way to the heart of the mountain-the Muldrow glacier. It presented many difficulties. Every step had to be sounded, for often large crevasses lay under the crusted snow. A trail was made that the dogs and slcds could travel over, frequently snow-bridges had to be built. Our last camp on the glacier was at 11,500 feet. The glacier was out off by a steep ridge, about four miles in length, which rose 4000 feet, elevating us to an altitude of about 15,000 feet. A great staircase was hewn up this ridge, which had been shattered by an earthquake one year previous. The supplies were relayed to this place. Now before us for six miles was the Grand Basin, which was at right angles to the glacier below. Near the distant end of this glacier we pitched our camp, at an altitude of 18,000 feet, on June 6th. This was our last camp. Early on the morning of June 7th we made ready our packs and eagerly pushed up the steep slopes, suffering in- tensely from shortness of breath and bitter cold. At one-thirty we reached the summit. Walter, a 'half-breed Indian boy, was the first to set foot on the highest peak in North America, and the others closely following. First was said a prayer of thanksgiving to Almighty God. We joined hands in congratulation, and then the instruments were read by Arehdeacon Stuck. It was my privilege to raise the Stars and Stripes. Then a cross was made and thrust deeply in the snow and we gathered around it and said the Te Deum. It was a clear day and the scenery was, indeed, most beautiful, beyond description, At three o'cloek we started on our long, weary journey downward, reaching our 18,000 foot camp about six that evening. Two days later we were in our base camp. All hearts were happy that night. Robert Tatum. 86
