6 THE DAILY EVEMNG TELEGHAril PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 18G8. llie Late Slss Floods Asccits or the Mftllcihorn. Oetotor 19, 18C8 Having myself witnessed Hon of the most disastrous effects of the great Btorm, and the accompanying inundations, wb h took place in the middle of last August In Switzerland, and haying been flooded p lij the deluge for some daji at baas, I think the following note of scenes and inoi dents which came under my observation may prove interesting to your readers, in Sequence to the recent communication of Professor Airy. I was higher up than the Astronomer Eoyal, and was in some peril, not to peak of personal privations. Could I but have got down to Visp, 1 should have thought mycelf out of all danger and free from all perplexity. Bat, unluckily. I was at Baas, hut up for some days la an old house, which became a Mono ark, with sundry kind of queer anliua's, but, unhappily, no dove. Far Several days a warm, and tsoinetiinoa hot, eouth wind had been Mowing up from the Italian side of Monte Rosa, and soveiing the mountains with black clouds. Jt whs, therefore, lifeless to think of -'aMem) ting to cro8 over into Italy by the Mont Moro pass in such cloudy aud dinm&l Wtather. The little rough hotel at the Matt marh bee, situated about three hours' walk' higher up the valley, is the last stoppiDg place before crossing the Moro, and t tie re 1 had slept one night, rising at four o'clock; but finding thick datkuesa still prevaleut, I at ouce reumied 10 baa?, preferring to await brighter weather there. Retiring early to icy bed-room, which faced the soutii, I sought sleep, without the remotest sus picion of what was brewing in the skies, although the oppressive heat and lowering mists might have forewarned me. It wad about 3 o'clock in the morninj when I wax awoke by a tremendous storm of rain and thunder and lightning. Snou lightning, thunder, and rain only come down on Alpine heights aud in valleys. No words can fully describe this storm; but its results may be de scribed to some extent. My bed-room win 'd iws were all fronting the fury of the tempest, and one of the heavy exterior wooden shutters Were speedily loosened buiashed glass and dis located windows at once allowed the raiu to pour in like a sheet of water. In a few iniiutes the iloor was Hooded, the ceiling above poured down little streams, and before long my bed was a pool of water. The light ning seemed to play around me in vivid forks, the thunder neany deafened me, and the forious wind raged round my poor chamber like an unchained maniac. I lay in bed as patiently as I could till the day broke, aud then I dressed aud descended, half Wet, wholly chilled, and not a little discomfited. No sooner had I reaohed the salle a manger than I saw, at a glainse, that a deluge of water had fallen in the tew hours ol darkness during Which the Btorm raged The previously narrow, Tapidly-rusbing mountain stream was now a tenibli, broad, and foaming river a river iu high aud furious iiood. Stepping out on to the little balcony, it was manifest Ha at the unhap pily looated house waB now simply an idlaud. Right and left, high up aud low down, all was Hooded. Fields, divisions, walls, paths, were all nearly, aud would soon be quite, obliterated. Down dashed the mad waters in irresistibleforoe; and looking at the lowest windows of the houpe, I saw the Hood had nearly risen to their sills. It was a question merely of time -of a few hours probably whether the lower Story would not be entirely under water. Iu about two hours such was the actual state of things. The passage, the driuking-rdOaa, the cellars, the kitchen, were all inuudated. Up oame Catherine with her kitchen ware, up came the white-capped cook, up came one dull old landlord, aud up oame Father Imseng iu deep sorrow aud damp vest ments. All these established themselves iu various cornt-rs so one on the lauding outside the salle, and some insidt of it. Dread or nueamne-s was depicted on every counte nance, and increasingly as the morning passed on, for the flood continually augmented. The waters rose higher aud higher, aud by mid day it was douott'ul whether even th lale (I ma' tjer itself would escape the all-threatening waters. I looked out at the corner of the house most exposed to I lie full descending impact of the waters, aud discovered that the Btoue at the angle was partly broken, aud that other stones were very likely to be loosened in time. Two huge rough wooden benches stool before the inn-door. Long ago had their seats been under water, and would the benches themselves stand against the flowing eueuay F "We could see the upper rails only; bat before long these were submerged. Crash 1 crash 1 and down went one great bench. Soon after, crash ! crash 1 and away went the other great bench. Huge stones were also dislodged, and went down with, and in prt arrested, the rapid descent of the shat tered benches. Seeing this, a young man, Son of the dull old landlord, devised and skilfully accomplished the ressue of one of the two benches, bindiug a strong rope roand his middle, he plunged iuto the river; his father and two other men holding the rope on the tep of a wall. Father Imseng looked on iu doubt ud in dirt; all the people of the house appeared and" encouraged the young maa. Strong as lie was, the waters onoe hurried him down, aud he had to be hauled out, half drowned. Again he entered; and now, by great efforts, he attached the rope to the arrested bench, and it was moored to a rook. Huge logs and frame pieces of pine now datdied past us in quick succession. What could these be? Alas! they were parts ot two chalets or huts, carried away piecemeal before our eyes. Now and then a door-jam, or prt of a window-frame stoid up edge-ways out of the waters, and then we understood tlie rniu that the floods were inlliotiug. As to fodder, parts of outhouses, cattle-sheds and the like, the river made playthings of them all. All ! Poor peasants of baas 1 Who cm tell how badly the floods dealt with you on that fatal day f The roartDg of the flood, continuing, as it did, all day, exercised a saddening eQeot. Add to this the loud dashing of great rojkj and stones against each other, aud the long unabated rise of the waters, aud auy oue may imagine the depressing thoughts which Weighed upon me. Thee were only allevi ated by occasional odd incidents. Oue such was the terror of a Freuch Udy staying at the house, and her expressions of alarm. "Oil 1" Said she, "not oue of us will escape I The Louse is crumbling down, and my poor boy inill uever see his mother a,ain I He- ides all, sir, they cannot cook auy dinner to day, and the cellar is under water. No wine, sir; no meat 1 Ab, sir, this is a dreadful death to din I We shall be starved, and we shall he drowned ! Ab, prior Henri I O my poor orphan boy 1" Happily, however, the waters did sensibly abate about four or live o'clook. Thejrout Vail wis a kind of hydrometer. The window Sills were the strongest divisions, aud I could fee that the lower stones would slowly reap pear. Very slow, and very long and anxiously awaited, was' their first faint reappear ance. When at length they did emerge from the muddy billows, hope emerged with them, and we felt that, although we might still be prisoners, we should not be drowned. So deep, however, was the dread, and so strong the terror inspired by the deluge, that a whole party, ocnslfitlrj cf tie i'rtjuch lady before mentloaod and four other friends, all of whom had been gay and jecose the day before, determiued not to sleep in the house another night. How coald they get out f They were wator-boun I water-prisoners. Father Imseng was called to their council, and assured them the house would now stand. They entreated him to pro vide them with a boat or any means of exit. 13ut there was no other open inn no attain able house near this irn. The only resource at the Father's command was the little relin quished "Mcnto Rosa" inn at the rise of the bill. How could the French people get out and enter it f One exit only was conceivable and practicable. An attio windew of our hotel, the Monte Moro, abutted on the said hill. All who could get up to this attic window, and out of it, might easily descend upon the wet grass of the hill behind. This resource was hailed with acclamation only, how could the window be reaohed f Presently, there appeared a man who carried a tbort ladder. This was applied fo ingeniously that every Freneh man and woman could mount it, aud get upon the grass outside. To see them successively mounting and descending was worth all the terrors and sufleiings of the day. IS'txt rooming, they re entered the inn by the eamo method, and at night made a similar exit. Ore gentleman only was bold enough to dare the dangers of the hotel at night, and be kept meconipany for two orthree evenings. This youi g Frenchmau aud I had the whole upper rooms to ourselves, and my young companion endeavoied to edify me during the hours we weie together by assuring me that be did not believe in a Ood, or a devil, or the Hible. It was quite true, he Baid, that he called himself a Catholic, because he was not a Frotestant; but as to religion, it was cer tainly all priestcraft. Pleasant aud profitable com any this in a descited house, surrounded by the eddying and roaring waters 1 One evening I ventured to remark that if I were in the slightest degree dipposed to doubt of a God and a Bible, I felt more than ever con vinced that there was a devil. In a day or two we got out of the inn door by means of fir-trees and poles laid in continu ous lengths. None but an eye-witness could credit the havoc and ruiu displayed all arouud. The village itself was a wilder ness of mud and stones, much like the bottom of a drained lake. The iloor c f the church was covered with the finest Silt and sand, which had been cairied in by the doors. To detail how many wooden bridges had been broken up, how mauy trees had been rooted up, aud how many logs and polas were ooniusedly hud Hod together, would be in vaiu. Iu brief, all communication was in terrupted. We were cut off from men, and could only dream of climbing mountains. Oua little incident amused us. There lay beneath our window, before the flood, some large wooden ninepins and a huge wooden bowl. Of the ninepin3 none were recovered, but the great bowl was fouud amongst blocks and rocks about twelve miles down the valley, near Stablden. FindiDgitalmostimprac ticable to reach Visp, and that in all probability I should have to go ever the mountain from Stablden to Tourte magne, I resolved to crojg the Moro to Macug naga. Usually the walk from Saas to the Mattmarh bee inn takes three hours; but now we had to olimb over rocks and pursue a tor tuous course, so that four hours were neces sary, and on arriving at the so-called bee I was surprised to find it quite dry. It fact it had all run down under and by the fcidn pf the Allalein glacier a phenomenon not before ob served. Doubtless tho great flood had forcibly drained it off. At the little inn, where I had counted on laying in provieions for the Moro Pass, there was no food. Even the br-ad wai eaten up, and only one bottle of horrible ordinaire could be obtained for stlf aud guide. Over the Moro then, foodless, to Macngnsga this was the in evitable older of the day; and along, famishing walk I found it to be. At Mcngnaga I heard of and witnessed the results of the fearful storm. In going to the Belvedere on the glacier the usual path was quite obliterated, and I had to mount over boulders and rocks. A deep, dry channel, or rather ravine, was manifest at the tetminatioa of the glacier, and told miuiistaka'jly of a sweeping water-flow. But the moat re ruaikable tight I saw was that of a num ber of pine-logs, and apparently pHuks, Ijing leiigthwsjB iu amongst the stone?, BO singularly jammed iu that they appeared to be almost interstratiflei with the looetly pgglomerated boulders, and suggested foro bly the idea of a future geological stra tum containing layers of fossil wood. Alto gether, the denuding aud relaying power of the water in all these desolated valleys was geologically suggestive, aud instructive iu a high degree. In walking down the beautiful Val Anzasea to l'oute Grande, I beheld the most melancholy proofs of the ravages of the late floods; and in some places I had to make deviations by no means easy or pleasant. But it was at the cold-mining works of l'esterana that I witnessed the most costly damage. The washing floors of the mining works were thoroughly desolated; aud an old Comith captain, there resident, pointed out to me with deep sorrow the oourso of the waters and the ruin of the works. 1 should not HKe to state from mere recollection the monetary amount of the damage done in this deep valley by the inundation; but, from my own observa tion, I am sme it must have ben very great. No one reuolieolod such a terrillu down rush in any former storm. The Cornish oap tain described the noise of the resistless waters as equal to that of " a thousand thunders." When, on completing ray tour round Monte Rosa, 1 crossed the Theodule glucier aud looked up at the Matterhorn iu its unclouded gloiy, it miht sluiost have been doubted if that unequalled obelisk could have felt the ellect of the late tempest, boating high up into the tky, it penned a3 calm as a mighty natural sphinx. Ouly its riddle ha3 now been solved, and climbers have found the safe way up to its head and down its shoulders. At that very time three Englishmen were upon it, and rear the beginning of the final arrcte. I ulionld not have discerned them, but the Baron F diFtovered them, and, opening his hunter's telescope, held it aright for ma until I loui.d the three little black moving specks in the field of the glass. The Baron's eag'e-eye, trained long iu chamois-huuting, saw the climbers without the aid of tlte glass; but none of tho rest of our party oould traoe the adveutarers wi hout the telescope. TLe next day 1 conversed, at Zenuitt, with one of the time iLOuntaineers. Ha told me that he found the lust part of the ascent more difficult thm an thing he had before done or then expected; and from a subsequent study of tie gable roo -like termination of the great mountain, whiht I stood at its base, I could well imagine the nature of the final ddliuulty. From lierr beiler, B"W the landlord of the two hottls at Zermatt, I learned that, in all, seven ascents of the Matterhorn had been made this very fine summer. It can be ascended from the Italian or the bwiss side, aud a strong controversy and rivalry exist as to these re spective routes It is not easy to acquiesce in tie opinion of the Zerniatt guides that the route is preferable from their side. Probably, the best course is that which Dr. Tyndall, I believe, adppud, ylz., to ascend by tlie Italian, and to descend by the Zermatt side. I was informed that there are huts nov ou both sides, erected for the lodgment of climbers during their first night. From Zermatt I beheld the light shown by the before-named party at night, aud it shone down on Zermatt like a low-placed, brilliant tar. The Italian hut is, I believe, higher up on the mountain than the Swiss, though both are nndiitingnisbable from bebw. Three of the Zermatt guides especially dedicate themselves to mouuting the Matter horn. Great, strong fellows are they, and high is their price, viz., 100 francs for each guide. 20 franca is their fee to the hut or cabune, and baik; and I fancy that this latter expedition will beoome a favorite one to moderate climbers. From all I eould aaeertain, no climbers ever stay loug on the summit even when tbey have attained it. The mountaineer before alluded to assuied me the cold was so intense that he could not re main much more than ten minutes on the top. A cold north wind (the most favorable wind for clear weather being a north wind) very fre quently sweeps this summit, and, indeed, the summits also ot the neighboring mountains; and no man but an Esquimaux iu native dreps could stand long in such a wind on snoh a height. However, the view is not the chief object of masteiing the Matterhorn. One cause of fear naturally snggosts itself while thinking of the ascent. As it is now au achievement which has paesedout of the cate gory of impossibles, it may too rapidly pass into tl at of the easily practicables. The latter it can never be. It seems, from all that is testified by the successful climbers, to be, in the iinal ascent at least, very arduous and rather dangerous. It can only be safely done in fine weather, and by men in good training. The frequency with whioh it may be done under such favorabls conditions is apt to mislead the inexpe rienced. Hence it is to be feared that more accidents may happen on this majestic mountain of melancholy notoriety. While the attempt is made only by experienced mountaineers and good rock-mouuters, all it ay go well; but if a number of novices or inrapables make fools of themselves on the Matterhorn, there will be more than two or three graves, bearing the inscription of "Killed on the Matterhorn," in the little church-yard at Zermatt.
