Herr Schaller Kanchenjunga, the attack upon which has so far

been remarkably free from the fatalities which threaten such enterprises, has now caused the death of two members of the German expedition, Herr Schaller, a new member of the party, and Parang, a member of his rope team. Herr Schaller was an expert mountaineer and a member of the Akademischer Alpenverein of Munich. The two bodies have been buried on the mountain. The sympathy of all who have been watching their gallant attempt will go out to the party in their sad loss.
