ii UIGRT OS" THE ORTLER SPITZ.
Tlio followiiiB description oi pinion adven
ture is taken from the pikers of the lnte Robert
Jacob, E()., of Dublin, who, with his relative,
Mr. Walpole, asocodwl the Ortler Spitz Mountain
daring a tour through the Tyrol in the month
. of Ananst, IMil. The narrative was penned a
few hours after the occurrence to which it
refers took place.
Weleltthe Albf-ro tlclla Santa Maria at an
arlv hour, and soon reached the summit of
theKielvw Pass, Irora which we lad a line viewof
the mountains of the Tyrol, Italy, and Switzer
land, for a vast distance around; the chief
object of attraction beinp the majestic Ortler
Bpnz, the king ot the Tyrolean Mountains, Us
nramit crowned with snow, and its sides seamed
wun piaciers. Alter a rapid descent by extern
pori7.ol paths, which wo mane In order to
avoid tne weary ziuzsr road, we soon entered
me Austrian dominions, and at .noon reached
me village ot lraioi.
II I . i 1 . . ...
unruly uuu-rujinuii to aiicnipt tne accent o
tne timer fpitz, wc at once wade inquiries for
guides, and alter a lengthened search, we dis-
;tieu two men, josepn fchaii and Anton
urucr, with whom we arranged to undertake
the dilficult enterprise next day. .We spent tha
-vruiuK in maguif preparations ror tue ascent,
lajinp In a stock of provisions lesiinir theropej
wnn wnicn we were to te tiea toftoner, oo
tainlnK veils and fcpectacles to preserve our eyes
from the daz.lini? plare of he sun's rys on the
mio. anl attending to the various other tuinga
which are requisite in an aiceinpt of tfal? kind.
A considerable amount of interest was excited
nmoncot the visitors at the hotel, and an Kuifhsli
lady most obliglnely offered ner services to us
an "interpreter." We were roused at one o'cloc
next moniinpr, having had biua brief period for
repose: and alter a hurried breakfast, we started
at 230.
The guide, Kchaff, preceded us with a lantern,
to direct our steps through the darkness which
prevailed at that hour. Our path lay at tirst
tlironph meadows, and then stretched up
through tall ploomy pine woods, frequented by
bears In winter. Hhouly alter 3 o'clock we
reached a small chapel, where three jets ot icy
cold water pour lroni the bosoms of tnree saints,
sculptured in stone. The little plate looked
weird enough by the light of our lantern, as we
entered it to obtain a draught ot the water. Day
light appeared sbortly alter, and about 6 o'clocs
we quitted the woods, and mounted a long and
wearisome slope.covered with loose stones, which
brought ns to the foot of tue drst snow slope.
Here wo had our crampons fastened on, and
though we found them awkward enough on the
rocks, they were very useful on ice or Hardened,
snow. We were now fairly on the snows of the
tiiant Ortler Spitz, the highest mountain in the
Tyrol, where English loot had never trod, aud
weleltsome little pleasure in oping the lirst
Irom our land to explore these wild and Oarely
accessible heights.
We pursued our way up the steep slope, which
was so soil that no sten-cuttins wns needed to
any extent the axes being only occasionally
brought into requisition. About 8 o'clock we
reached some rocks commanding a grand vie v
of the snowy valleys, glaciers, and heights
around, and halted for ubjut an hour, while
the guides went forward and cut steps up the
ascent of Ice which formed the upper portion
1 the vast coulo'r np which our ditlictlt
path lay. Unfortunately for us. it was quite de
nuded ol Irceh or olt snow, and we were obliged
to keep as ucar as possible to some rooks on
our right, alter leaving which we had rather a
trying time. The did oi ice wa3 awfully stejp,
no that it apppeared nearly perpendicular, and
whenever we ventured to take toth3 rocks,
enormous masses ot the friable limntme ai
which the mountain is composed, camn away
almost at a touch, thundering do wn with fear
ful velocity. At ouo or two places we were
obliged to swing ourselves round projectiu"
trsgs of rock, holJinir on tightly with our
liupcrs to the narrow ledires, which were, how
ever, really safer than the lamer rocks, although
more diilicult to climb on. 01 course, we were
all well roped touctucr. and took every step
with great anxiety, since one Mlseone mlxht
prove so dnneerou. Tne icy couloir lormed a
sort of frozen wave at the side, so that what I
may compare to a ch.ninev w,ts made between
it and the rocks up which we hid to climb.
The strata being very much curved, ot ouo
point there was nothing intervening between
the slippery ice and a tremendous precipice be
neath but a layer ot loose stones about two leet
wide. This appeared to me the worst place I
ever was in yet, ns the moment we set our feet
n the stones they rattled away beneath
our tread now down the ice cliff on one
side of us, now down the precipice at th?
other, according as our feet gave them direc
tion. We bad, a it were, to screw our ueives
n a vice, so as to give way to aa weakness or
shrinking.
Alter two hours of this difficult work we
reached a little plain, and after clamberin" up
another stony cliff, we commenced the atcem
ot some mighty domes of ir.izen sno.v and ice,
apparently of endless extent and height, pla
by occasional crevasses, which we crowd
carelully without muclr difficulty. The day
was extremely hot, and the labor very great'

wa tlLe ,,a.sk, , we BU(I undertaken. The
Ruldcs Had told us that we should reach
the summit at midday, but the great
wmtoir being in such a bad state,
they were quite put out in their calculations.
At last, after two hours tind a half more of great
exertion we stood upon tue summit of the
Ortler Spitz at 2-30 t. M just twelve Hours
after leaving the inn at Trafoi. We had now
reached the desired spot, and Irom the top of
this giant of the Tyrol, 13,0UU feet above the
sea level, we had a panoramic view ot the Swiss
and Tyrolean mountains iu all their glory, which
transcended anything I had ever before soen.
The daywus magnificent, and the peaks anl
icy valleys around plisL'iied brieht a gems in

The fop of the ortler Spitz Is a laree dome, at
the end of which appears a little projection of

keeping my sell-command with difficulty. It
was soon over, however, and I crept round to
a ledge overhung by rocks. We were scarcely
settled here, when the thunder came crasnlng
around us, and the rain fell heavily. Scharf
pointed, lor our com tort, to another black
chasm into which we had to be lowered, and
ubiu iiu leivreu mere was no chance ot our
ieacninj rralol that night, in which wo all
aereed. It would have been certain deftruc-
uon io nave proceeded at that hour, yet the
norrors oi naviug to remain on the ledire lor
tne night almost overpowered us. This ledge,
or rather sloping shelf of loose stones, was
divided into two httle hollows, and was cov
ert d by the overhanging rock above us, trora
which, untortunately, there was a eoustait
droppins of water, so that there was not a dry
spot to bo lound. We couid not move lorward.
lest we should tall over the precipice which lay
beneath: we could not sleep, lor there was
no p'nee to lie down in: and we dured not
siecp lenninir against the rock, as it involved
tne danger ot tumbline over also. We could
not walk backwards and forwards, so as to keep
ouii-ehes warm with exercise. becausH the
hhelf we were on sloped so much, and the loose
siones under our leet rolled down the heieht at
every step. We had no lood. no drink, po light,
and our clothog were saturated witu wet bv the
constaLt drooping lrom the rock over us. We
were altogether in a most unenviable condition.
ihe storm now csme on in earnest! the
thunder rolled like teu thousand pi'-ces of artil
lery, ana tue echoes reveroeraicd through, the
mountains as if thev never would end. The
lichtninfr was intense tlashinar through t.hn
dark clouds; now in brieht, white xiazags, and
then in red streams ot tiame that lit up the
peaks and snow-filds. though they were
on tire, while the meat ice-cliff neiir im
glowed us ii it bad been transmuted into one
sheet of lava.
The f cene was too awful lor one to be mile in
look at wi h composure, and I strove to keeo
my eyes closed, but in vain each Hash
compelled me to onen them, mid p;lzi nn h
brilliant spectacle around. The storm ceased
alter two hours' duration, and the moon shone
out ppiicefully over the mountains, iormine a
striking contrast to the preceding scene. We
were now i-hiverin with tbo cold in nnr wtt
clothes, but providentially there was do wind,
otherwise I know not what we should Uavo
oone. Ten o'clock arrived, and we hnrl hnon
here about two and a half hours. I endeavored
to obi ain some sleep leanlus on a -.tone, whiip
Schair and 1 kept as close as we could together,
.u unut iu gei uuie warniTn into our irames;
the other guide hud retired into a nook by taim-
sell. rJeven o'clock, twelve o'clock came. Oh!
ho w slowly the weary nieht wore on ! Many hours
appeared to pass by, and yet when 1 looked at
my watch by the moonltcrht, frequently not
halt an hour had real.y elapsed. We lelt, how
ever, we must try and win through, as it would
never do to give way to despair.
One o'clock, two o'clock passed, and out- situ
ation was becoming agonizing. My eyes would
not keep open, and yet each moment I was
awoke by n frightful forward movement, as if 1
were about to fall over the cliff. My brief
doze appeared lull of dreams, cenerally pleasant
ones of home nod repose. It wa? evidently
now freezing; our teeta chattered with the
cold, and we trembled from Head to foot. Not
a sound was to bo heard save the bound of
rocks or stones from the couloir, and the occa
sional roll ot an avalanche. Sometimes the
stone came tumbling over our heads, but we
weie well protected from them by the over
banging cliff. At 3 o'clock the moonlight
began to fade away, and every thing fre w dim.
Schfttf had gone into the nook with the other
guide, and .1. and I stood together intently
watching for the first dimmer of day break
over the distant mountain tops. I scarcely
moved my eyes now from heights over which
1 kuew the dawn would appear. At 4 o'clock
we saw the welcome streaks ot haht, and at
5 o'clock 1 roused tbo guides, but to our horror
oueot them told u that he feared we could not
rcaoK Tratoi thnt day either. He said he was
sick, and certainly looked worse after the pi 'bt
than any of us. The ram tbat had fallen the
evening before had been Irozon over the snow
of the eowoir, and had couvcrted ii into i,oiie
smooth glassy surface, down every yard of
which steps would have to be cut. As day ad
vanned, SchafF revived, and sent Ortler fo cut
the steps, and at 7'JO we heaid the welcome
words, ' Now you go forwards," and we braced
up our nerves for the strucrgie, glad at any rate
tolpave the ledee where we had spent twelve
such weary hours.
We had first to walk across the line of steps
cut in the ice, until we reached the centre of
the couloir, when we began to descend. We soon
got to the end of these steps, and as fresh ones
had to be cut as we descended, our progress was
slow, and the laoor entailed oa the leading
guide very heavy. The rocks aud stones came
boundiig down all this time the lar 'e ones
with loud crashes, aud the smaller ones
with a sound like the whizz of a rilie bullet.
Our guides were evidently afraid of them, and
we hurried on as well as we could: but there
was a certain sort ol excitement as they whirled
past, probably like that felt by soldiers in action
when the bullets are heard flying past them,
behalf got a severe blow in the leg from a stone,
and 1 w as struck by a small one in the back.
Ortler being eihaustea at step-cutting, we tried
to walk on the eoutoir without steps; but we
had no sooner attempted it thau J. ( Jvho had
lost one of his crampous) slipped on the lee and
was sliding awa ; but happily I had my alpen
stock well in at the time, and was enabled to
hold him up.
Alter three hours' hard work we reached some
rocks, vhre we lcsicd, and then we got quickly
down the pott snow of the lower slope, at the
loot of which we bade adieu to the retrious ot ice
and snow, our way Iviug now through a sleep
stony descent, where we met a mau who had been
despatched by our kind hostess with refresh
ments Itr us. The hef,r wns very great by this
time, and 1 could Hot take either meat or wine;
my mouth and throat were literally dry as if
they had heeu made of parchment, iu conse
quence ul the lonsr abstiuenco. i
About noon we reached the woods, where un
fortunately no water was to be had, and my
surH-rines ttom thirst were so great that I could
scarcely drag myself along. At two o'clocl: we
reacud the little chapel where the three foun
tain are, and 1 rushed into it and Jdrank copi

1 had tasted with the least benefit for tbo lost
