Eight years had elapsed since the previous Mount Everest Expedition and a new generation of climbers, under the leadership of Hugh Ruttledge and including Frank Smythe, Eric Shipton, Jack Longland, Eugene Birnie, Percy Wyn-Harris, Edward Shebbeare, Lawrence Wager, George Wood-Johnson, Hugh Boustead, Colin Crawford, Tom Brocklebank, E. Thompson and William Maclean, with Raymond Greene as senior doctor and William 'Smidge' Smyth-Windham as chief radio operator, together with a powerful and spirited team of Sherpa "Tigers" - constituted the Fourth British Everest Expedition attempt. The personnel for this attempt, which used the then-standard route of choice of the British via the North Col, was made up of a combination of military types and Oxbridge graduates, and included none of those who had been on the 1924 attempt. The highest point attained was 8,570 m, but the route was found to be extremely difficult and the vital camp V that should have been reached on a rare day with fair weather - 20 May - was, as a result of disagreements between team members, never established. It was also during this expedition that Wyn-Harris found the ice axe which belonged to Andrew Irvine, who had disappeared on the peak on the 1924 British expedition with George Mallory. Although not a success in terms of all objectives met, the expedition did mark the first oxygenless summit attempt by Wyn Harris and Wager who planned to reconnoiter Mallory's ridge route. The pair did traverse into and across the Great Couloir, and managed to reach Norton's high point before admitting defeat. On June 1st, Shipton and Smythe attempted another oxygenless ascent, following the same ascending line taken by Wyn Harris and Wager to the base of the First Step and thence along Norton's Great Couloir route. Shipton was forced to give up a little past the First Step, and Smythe continued alone, crossing the Great Couloir somewhat lower down than his predecessors where the ledges were more favorable, ultimately giving up at Norton's high point. Ruttledge's account of events includes details of preparation for the journey, diet, weather and Harris and Wager's summit assault, together with a summary of knowledge gleaned from the expedition. Photographs and a lively discussion between RGS members complete a well rounded and exciting paper.
13 pages, including 2 sketch-maps. Plus photographic plates. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. This is a captivating expedition account of the author's sojourn in Arabia, namely the Hejaz, at the time a forbidden country to unbelievers, concerning all aspects of the Hejaz, including its geographical features, the territorial disputes and tribal factions, as well as the population that inhabits this spectacular region steeped in history and bloody. Disguised as a Muhammadan, Mr. Rutter engaged himself in the Islamic rituals including daily prayers and the Muhamman Pilgrimage, also visited the Prophet's tomb. Mr. Rutter outlines his pilgrimage from Suez by sea to Massowa and Al Qahm, and thence, disguised as a Muhammadan pilgrim, by land through the Hejaz frontier at Halli - describing the place being an exceedingly dirty village of rush huts inhabited by slave traders - Al Qunfunda, Al Lith - village of mud houses and rush huts - and Wadi Yelamlam to the Holy City of Mecca where he stays for nine months visiting the great Mosque of Mecca, performing the rites of the Muhamman Pilgrimage for few days, and making an excursion to Al Taif, his final departure from Mecca and his journey through Rabigh to Medina, where he engages in the rites of visiting the Prophet's tomb, and his passage from Medina to Yenbo (El Yanbua). Also with remarks on Ibn Sa'ud and his control over the Hejaz and Mr. Rutter's interesting experience of mirage "I saw a river a head of us. On its banks were lines of trees, and their forms were reflected in the water. Then I saw the stone houses of a town, and among them were the forms of men...At last it dawned upon me that the whole spectacle was a mirage." An engaging travel account illustrated with a full-page sketch map of the Hejaz showing Mr. Rutter's route to Mecca and Medina, an in-text sketch diagram depicting his route from Mecca to At Taif, and several amazing photographic plates showing the Kaaba (the House of Allah), the Great Mosque of Mecca, the Prophet's tomb, at Medina, and Bab es Salaam in the Mosque of Medina. Followed by equally interesting 2-page discussion on the water of Zemzem (Zem Zem)- a sacred well in Mecca - Quraish tribe, the mysterious Black Stone of the Kaaba, and water supply of Mecca.
