TIIE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1870.
THE DISASTER AT MONT BLANC.
Nenrcth fr the I.oat Men.
A correspondent of the Boston Tranxcript,
vho dates his letter Chamouni, September 7,
writes:
'A party of three tonrists, three guides,
and five poitera left here on Monday, the fth
instant, Hnd were due here -this morning.
They were seen yesterday at 1 o'clock on
the suruiuit of Mont Blanc, and were counted
by many. Later they were soon a little
way don the mountain. After that they
vere Lot discerned again, and a gathering
now-wLirl obscured the mountain. Thia
morning they did not reach here at
the exi.-eoied hour, and the roaring of a falling
avalanche had been heard in the night. The
anxiety (;iew strained and intense, and the
4Cbei" i -patched a gnide to Les Grands
Mulcts,' v lio signalled back that they did not
leep last night there. Of course if they
bad lost tleir way in their descent, and night
closed in with a terrible storm, their destruc
tion vai certain. Thirty volunteers were
eipr filler! for, which showed that from 'Lea
GrandH Mulcts' the ascent had been con
sidered ns full of danger to-day.
"Of coiirse we Immediately joined the anx
ious, ne struck throng, feeling as if tho
eleven ill-starred men belonged to our own
boufelolds. immediately passed into the
'13m enu du Chef des Guides,' and he handed
me a card one of the tourists had given him
before mskiug the ascent. I found it con
tain (1 the name of almost a townsman, John
C. llandall, of Quincy, Mass. They describe
bimasaman about fifty-five or sixty, very anx
ious to make the ascent, desirous to go as far
ns 'Lea Grands Mnlets,' without a guide.
This 'the Chef would not allow him to do.
lie had gone through a course of training for
the ascent, walking of late fifteen hours a day.
He had f-poken of some one as having seven
children, or he was so understood. He made
his will here last week, and left it, as the Eng
lish Con siil affirms, duly signed and attested.
The second was Dr. James 13. Beane, of Balti
more, Md. The third was a Scotchman, G. Mo
Corkendale. The throngs in the streets grow
more silent as the volunteering goes on. A
brother of one of the missing guides claims
it ns his right to go. He is secretary of the
'Chef,' and he allows his claim. Soon he is
Been moving down the street with his knap
sack of restoratives, his cords and Alpine
batchet. Every married man is rejected.
The lost guides and a part of the porters had
families. The weeping aunts and sisters
and cousins cross the street and lift their
Bad, despairing eyes to the awful mountain.
They find comfort in our few choked words
of sympathy and trembling hand-grasps.
They tell us in their simple, elequent way
bow good the lads were and how their old
mothers and their wives and little children
had no one else to lean upon. The men
point in a reverent, hushed way to the roofs
covering the widows and orphans, and tell
lis that they are weeping there as if their
hearts would surely break. One has threo
very small children around her, and the doc
tor has gone in, for they fear the premature
birth of another.
"But the accepted volunteers are all ready,
and the culm, heroio-looking fellows wind
round in single file to the mountain ascent.
They turn not back for even the guerdon of
an approving cheer, but our hearts follow
them with prayers and blessings. The 'sove
reign BlaiiC' lifts his white head towards the
glowing shades depending in the twilight
sky. The mourners below still go about the
streets, restlessly reaching out for some gleam
ef hope, but finding none in the sad faoes of
neighbors and friends.
"A little later and night closes over all, but
the grand, awful sovereign, to which our tear
ful eyes me so often raised, ia not to be
'visited all night by troops of stars.' Clouds
fold darkly about him and 'L'Aigrielle du
Goute' and 'La Merdu Glace.' Anon, and
'from crag to crag leaps the live thunder.'
The sharp lightning lights up the crevioes in
the mountain's side. The rain pours down
in mighty torrents. The swollen waters of
the Arve and the Arveiron, plunging along
through all the wonderful defiles, must rise
as if to overwhelm the chalets that we saw to
day nestled so smilingly near their banks.
"Tbxbsday, Sept. 8. The volunteers have ,
safely returned. There was a chalet at two
and a half hours' ascent, where they found
refuge from the storm. This morn they
found it certain death to advance. They had
to lie themselves together and plant their
stall's for support, and then barely escaped
being blown into the crevasses. Several feet
of new snow bad fallen in the night, and ava
lanches were impending on every height.
To-morrow, if the ascent is possible, they try
again for the recovery of the bodies. It is a
rule with guides, if they do not fall into cre
vasses, but are to be frozen to death, to plant
their AlpiDe stall's as a guide to their com
panions who come to search for them. The
clouds lift again.but the 'Chef dos Guides' will
not allow us to cross La Mer du Glace as we
had proposed. The danger of avalanches is
too great. The gentlemen and two of our
Boston daughters go off upon mules for a
shorter ascent. But first they fill as far as
they ran a subscription paper for the families
of the missing guides. Most of the hotels
are empty, unfortunately for the cause, but
the little handful of Bostonians and New
Yorkers quickly fraternize in the matter, and
where I Bit writing about four hundred francs
are quickly counted out on the table. We
are called by the landlord to look over the
little bundles left by the two missing tour
ists who are registered at this house, as we
are fellow-countrymen of one of them. The
baggage of all three was probably left, like
that of our own party, at Geneva or Mar
tigny. "The bundle of the Scotchman is put into
my hands. I find several clerioal cravats.
The wide family of a parish are bereaved, if
no closer social ties are sundered. Then we
receive a bundle, tied iu a handkerchief, of
white linen. It is Dr. Beane's. It contains
his past-port, made out at Washington May
12th, 1870, and forwarded it to him at No.
f8 Saratoga street, Baltimore, Md. We find
he is sent out by the Smithsonian Institute,
and is recommended to the respectful atten
tion and helpfulness of the scientific people
in Europe. There are some geological speci
mens found by him within the last few days.
There is a needle, book, and buttons, and
Bilk and cotton, and other endearing evi
dences of a woman's eare. In an unsealed
envelope I find, neatly sewed upon a card, a
cross of white crystal. Above and below the
cross are written in pencil these words:
'Top of the Bevent (8284 feetj, September 3,
1870. Brckie ! Bless your darling little
heart. This shall be for you, for I thought
of you as soon as I saw it.' -
"A voune gentleman from the 'Hotel de
Alpo' comes to tell us that Mr. Randall lodged
there, and left his trunk and other effects,
with full verbal and written directions to
himself and the landlord where and to whom
to write in case he never returned, and they
are immediately to obey his wishes. This
centleman. Mr. J. T. Bergen, Jr., of Brook
Ivn, N. Y., says that Mr. Itandall returned
twice to shake hands and bid him good-by
and give him some more directions in a
cheeiful, htilf-sportive tone. He adds that a
few rods from the bouse he returned again
to again , shake hands with the landlord, and
wrote on a slip of paper another distinct
direction, to be immediately Pent te a gen
tleman in London if he should the next
day continue his ascent from 'Lea Grand
Mulets' and not return. That final ascent he
was not fully decided to try. Mr. Randall
talked to Mr. Bergen often and tenderly of
his Quincy home, his wife and children. He
admitted that Lis proposed ascent seemed
foolhardy, with his mature years and many
social ties. But for a long time the physical
geography of Switzerland had been of great
interest to him. He at last stood at the very
foot of the mountain, the study of which had
given him so much pleasure. He must try
and stand at its top.
"Mr. Bergen's face was full of calm so
lemnity as he spoke. He had himself made
every preparation to join the party, but some
friends, arming the evening before, had re
monstrated with him with such authority and
decision that he yielded a reluctant consent
to go with them on less dangerous routes. A
baidy Swiss across the street shows a cut in
his pantaloons which be says saved his life.
He was the first man that i Chef des Guided
summoned to accompany the party. The day
before, while about his work, a sharp instru
ment had wounded him in the leg. The
'Chef excused him as unfit to elimb.
"September !). Last evening we wore in
vited to the office of the 'Maire.' Eight hun
dred and Rixty-mne franos were collected
yesterday through the earnest activity of A.
E. Sahens, of New York. His plans were
laid to go round the base of Mont Blanc, but
he gave up the entire day to raising what
money be could among those scattered round
at the other hotels, and afterwards to visiting
the eight homes where the guides and porters
belonged, and instituting a strict business in
vestigation into the needs of the surviving
relatives, tne debts Hanging over them, and
other matters. The subscribers proposed that
the money collected should principally be put
in trust in the hands of the 'Maire' and 'Chef
des Guides.' We hope to collect more by
application to Americans in Geneva. Two of
the widows, one of the aged mothers, some
brothers, and other relatives were present,
with neighbors, and a resident Scotch minis
ter, who had accompanied and assisted Mr.
Sehens in all his labors of the day.
"On our return to the hotel we found the
tender-hearted landlady had heaped np fires
and large pitchers of hot wine for us. But
the wondering exclamations of the young
ladies who had remained at home drew us
quickly again to the open air. The moon,
'beautiful as some fair saint,' was just rising
above the summit of Mont Blanc. 'As if she
heard the voice of God,' she rested there.
The fky was intensely, darkly; blue, and two
large stars seemed impaled on the straight
needle-heights of the cliffs to the left. But
around the moon played the most wonderful
prismatic lights. All the pearly and emerald
and rose-coloi ed shades of a nautilus shell
floated off to the right. Cir
cle within circle floated around the
moon, then arcs of a circle higher up. The
awe-struck villagers, who had always lived in
Chamounix, had never seen this beautiful
manifestation before. Mt. Blanc Was there
clothed from base to summit in soft white
robes. But Mont Blano was in the light of a
tiansfiguration! There was neither rainbow
nor moonbow. All was more wondrous and
chitting. One man who looked for an hour
said the colors assumed higher up the distinct
form of a cross, which lasted some seconds.
I saw it not, but I trust that to the poor sor
rowing villagers 'the way of the cross seemed
the way of light.
"I wish I could tell of the impressive fune
ral service this morning at the Catholic
church. I wish I could tell what was written
on the earnest, manly faces of the villagers,
as an hour later they surrounded our dili
gence and stood with uncovered heads as the
gentlemen lifted their own hats in sympa
thetic adieu. I cannot but feel that the pea
sants of Chamounix will seem dear to us for
ever."
