Alpine Tragedies: English Party’s Night on the Matterhorn … (discussion) … Another party, composed of Mr. and Mrs. Pinsent, of London, and two guides from Evoleny, 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 Matterhorn, but as there were only a few tourists there who were without guides and who did not know the mountain, they were unable to go to the held of the English people. … … Subsequently a second relief column left Zermatt to go to the help of Mr. and Mrs. Pinsent. Telegraphing at nine o’clock on Sunday night, the correspondent says: Both the parties of tourists who were in difficulties have been saved and are now at the Matterhorn hut.
