English Tourists Spend a Night in a Snowstorm: Zermatt: Sunday: … … Another party composed of an English tourist, his wife and two guides from Evolene was also obliged to spend the night on the Matterhorn, having lost its way on the mountain. The shouts of the party could be heard at the Matterhorn hut, but as there were only a few tourists there, who were without guides, and did not know the mountain, they were unable to go to the help of the English people. A relief column under M. Herman Seiler left the Matterhorn hut at 6.30 this morning. Snow was falling heavily at the time, being already nearly eighteen inches deep. The night was very cold, and a storm had been raging. The members of the column, who are in imminent danger of their lives, are doing all they can to save the tourists. — Reuter: 9 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Pinsent, of London, and their two guides, have been saved and are now at the Matterhorn hut. — Reuter:
