PARKER PARTY
HAVEN'T MADE II
Parker-Brown Party at Last Ac
counts Had Not Yet Scaled
Mount McKinley
Professor Parker, the leader of!
the Eastern mountain-climbing
party, had at the time Ole Hjel
vig left the Kanlishna diggings,
failed to reach the top of Mount
McKinley.
Parker and his men made a de
lermined attempt to work their
way up on th«; south side, but
were turned back by the obstacles
which all agree make that route
utterly out of the question. He
reached an elevation of 12,000
feel, beyond which progress was
impossible, due to vertical cliffs,
lie then worked along through
the mountains, presumably by
way of MePln*e\s Pass, and came
through with his men |u Kureka,
in the Kanlishna.
Food supplies had run short
ami all the parly were hunger
ing for something that civilized
appetites crave, rather llian I lie
scientific foods prepared afler
lengthy study. It was on April
20 that Parker blew into the
Kanlishna. 11«• wasted no lime,
and upon gelling some provis
ions from tin* miners, he return
ed lo (he old Lloyd lent on (lie
MeKinlev river. II was tin* inten
tion of the parly to make, anoth
er attempt to reach the top, start
ing from the base of Ihe moun
tain in the middle <»f July. With
tin' open condition of the glaciers
to combat during this season of
I In* year, the Kanlishna men are
doubtful of Ihe probable success
of litis final attempt.
