Seattle, August 17.—A party of seven
mountain climbers from the Puget Sound
Methodist University had a thrilling ex-
perience on Mount Rainier last Sunday.
The ascent of the mountain was made
without difficulty, but in returning from
the summit to the Camp of Clouds, 5000
feet below them, but which is at an alti-
tude of about 9000 feet, the party were
lost in a dense fog. They could see noth-
ing but a dense fog and snow. Night
came and they were still lost. They
tramped until hunger and weariness com-
pelled them to stop. Huddling behind a
pile of rocks, they finally decided to
spend the rest of the night there and
wait for the fog to raise. Here the
party nearly froze to death. The wind
blew so hard that the only way they
could keep their blankets from blowing
away was by loading them with heavy
stones. But morning came and they again
found their trail, and late Monday after-
noon reached the Camp of Clouds, frost-
bitten, starved and worn out.
Dr. Misner, one of the party, ruptured
a blood vessel and is seriously ill, as the
result of forty-eight hours on Mount
Rainier's summit. The rest of the party
were not seriously injured. The Rev.
W. M. Jefferis delivered a sermon on the
summit last Sunday, entitled, "The Ser-
mon on the Mount."
